In multi-agent planning environments, action models for each agent must be given as input. However, creating such action models by hand is difficult and time-consuming, because i...
Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning (MARL) algorithms suffer from slow convergence and even divergence, especially in largescale systems. In this work, we develop an organization-b...

We define the "Pulse Synchronization" problem that requires nodes to achieve tight synchronization of regular pulse events, in the settings of distributed computing syste...
The development of correct synchronization code for distributed programs is a challenging task. In this paper, we propose an aspect oriented technique for developing synchronizati...
The action systems framework has recently been applied to the area of synchronous VLSI design. In this paper, we present a set of concepts necessary in the formal design of synchr...
