Using organization knowledge to improve routing performance in wireless multi-agent networks
Multi-agent systems benefit greatly from an organization design that guides agents in determining when to communicate, how often, with whom, with what priority, and so on. However...

A tractable and expressive class of marginal contribution nets and its applications
Coalitional games raise a number of important questions from the point of view of computer science, key among them being how to represent such games compactly, and how to efficien...

Quantifying over coalitions in epistemic logic
Some natural epistemic properties which may arise in applications can only be expressed in standard epistemic logic by formulae which are exponentially long in the number of agent...

A cooperation-based approach for evolution of service ontologies
Communication among agents requires a common vocabulary to facilitate successful information exchange. One way to achieve this is to assume the existence of a common ontology amon...

Synthesis of strategies from interaction traces
We describe how to take a set of interaction traces produced by different pairs of players in a two-player repeated game, and combine them into a composite strategy. We provide an...

Stochastic search methods for nash equilibrium approximation in simulation-based games
We define the class of games called simulation-based games, in which the payoffs are available as an output of an oracle (simulator), rather than specified analytically or using a...

Distributed multiagent resource allocation in diminishing marginal return domains
We consider a multiagent resource allocation domain where the marginal production of each resource is diminishing. A set of identical, self-interested agents requires access to sh...
