We adopt the decision-theoretic principle of expected utility maximization as a paradigm for designing autonomous rational agents operating in multi-agent environments. We use the...
Abstract--The difficulties encountered in sequential decisionmaking problems under uncertainty are often linked to the large size of the state space. Exploiting the structure of th...
The problem of partner finding is to identify which entities (agents) can provide requested services from a group of entities. It can be found in open and distributed environment...
Grid computing has reached the stage where deployments are mature and many collaborations run in production mode. Mature Grid deployments offer the opportunity for revisiting and ...
: A generalization of subjective expected utility is presented in which the primitives are a finite set of states of the world, a finite set of strategies available to the decision...
