Self-organizing multi-agent systems (MAS) use different mechanisms to mimic the adaptation exhibited by complex systems situated in unpredictable and dynamic environments. These m...
Distributed constraint optimization (DCOP) is a promising approach to coordination, scheduling and task allocation in multi agent networks. In large-scale or low-bandwidth network...

Animal ecologists have successfully applied agent-based models to many different problems. Often, these focus on issues concerning collective behaviors, environmental interactions...
Distributed allocation mechanisms rely on the agents' autonomous (and supposedly rational) behaviour: states evolve as a result of agents contracting deals and exchanging res...
In the literature on agent systems, the proactive behavior of agents is often modeled in terms of goals that the agents pursue. We review a number of commonly-used existing goal t...

Intelligent agents designed to work in complex, dynamic environments must respond robustly and flexibly to environmental and circumstantial changes. An agent must be capable of de...

We present ERIC, an affective embodied agent for realtime commentary in many domains. The underlying architecture is rulebased, generic, and lightweight
Energy efficiency represents one of the main challenges in the engineering field, i.e., by means of decreasing the energy consumption due to a better design minimising the energy ...
Electric grids are moving from a centralized single supply chain towards a decentralized bidirectional grid of suppliers and consumers in an uncertain and dynamic scenario. Soon, t...
