Negotiation is essential in settings where agents have conflicting interests and a desire to cooperate. In many approaches, agents are assumed to have pre-set, fixed preferences...
Distributed Internet-based attacks on computer systems are becoming more prevalent. These attacks usually employ some form of automation and involve the compromise of many systems...

People can interact much more readily with a multi-agent system if they can understand it in cognitive terms. Modern work on “BDI agents” emphasizes explicit representation of ...
This paper studies argumentation-based dialogues between agents. It takes a previously defined system by which agents can trade arguments and examines the outcomes of the dialogu...
