Mediation is the process of decomposing a task into subtasks, finding agents suitable for these subtasks and negotiating with agents to obtain commitments to execute these subtas...
Abstract. Different mutation operators have been proposed in evolutionary programming. However, each operator may be efficient in solving a subset of problems, but will fail in an...
This paper reports on a novel decentralised technique for planning agent schedules in dynamic task allocation problems. Specifically, we use a Markov game formulation of these pr...
