Optimal design is intractable in general. We identify a tractable class of design problems and propose the first framework for efficient, decision-theoretically optimal, collabo...
We consider a multiagent system whose task is to aid componentcentered design by collaborative designers in a supply chain. In the earlier work, collaborative design networks are ...
Combinatorial auctions can be used to reach efficient resource and task allocations in multiagent systems where the items are complementary. Determining the winners is NP-complete...
This paper considers the design of agent strategies for deciding whether to help other members of a group with whom an agent is engaged in a collaborative activity. Three characte...
Supply chains have evolved to web-applications that tap on the power of internet to expand their networks online. Recently some research attention is focused on make-to-order supp...
