In this paper we explore whether an auctioneer/buyer may benefit from introducing his transformability relationships (some goods can be transformed into others at a transformation ...
A new search algorithm for solving distributed constraint optimization problems (DisCOPs) is presented. Agents assign variables sequentially and propagate their assignments asynchr...
Abstract. We present Minion, a new constraint solver. Empirical results on standard benchmarks show orders of magnitude performance gains over state-of-the-art constraint toolkits....
One of the most important aspects of the research on agent interaction is the definition of agent communication languages (ACLs), and the specification of a proper formal semantics...

Existing approaches to knowledge representation and reasoning in the context of open systems either deal with "objective" knowledge or with beliefs. In contrast, there ha...
Abstract. In this article we present the framework of Possibilistic Influence Diagrams (PID), which allow to model in a compact form problems of sequential decision making under un...
