This paper proposes a coordination model, for both nd mobile agents, based on abstract structures called Communicators, entities which handle agent dialogue performed through ACL ...
Two distinct learning mechanisms are considered for a population of agents who engage in decentralized search for the common optimum. An agent may choose to learn via innovation (...
In this paper we address the problem of coordination in multi-agent sequential decision problems with infinite statespaces. We adopt a game theoretic formalism to describe the int...
In this paper we show how imposing an organization (topology and search mechanism) on agents in a peerto-peer network can improve system performance. The organizational structure ...
A collective obligation is an obligation directed to a group of agents so that the group, as a whole, is obliged to achieve a given task. The problem investigated here is the impac...
