We propose an argumentation-based framework for representing communication theories of agents that can take into account dialogue strategies and society protocols in a way that fa...
This paper presents a model for integrative, one-to-one negotiation in which the values across multiple attributes are negotiated simultaneously. We model a mechanism in which age...
In an open system, multi-agent computations must compete for resources required for satisfying their goals. We describe CyberOrgs, a hierarchical model for acquisition and control...
Auctions have become an integral part of electronic commerce and a promising field for applying multi-agent technologies. Correctly judging the quality of auctioned items is ofte...
Combinatorial auctions, where agents can bid on bundles of items (resources, tasks, etc.), are desirable because the agents can express complementarity and substitutability among ...
We describe how a system employing different types of organizational techniques addresses the challenges posed by a large-scale distributed sensor network environment. The high-le...
As the science of multi-agent systems matures, many developers are looking to deploy mission critical applications on distributed multi-agent systems (DMAS). Due to their distribu...
For Peer-2-Peer (P2P) networks to realize their full potential their nodes need to coordinate and cooperate, to improve the performance of the network as a whole. But this requires...
Overhearing is gaining attention as a generic method for cooperative monitoring of distributed, open, multiagent systems. It involves monitoring the routine conversations of agent...
In open distributed multi-agent systems, agents often coordinate using standardized agent communications. Thus, representing agent conversations is an important aspect of multi-age...
