The purpose of this paper is to report on experiments in (human) multi-issue negotiation and their analysis, and to present a generic software environment supporting such an analy...
Roles seem to be a suitable concept for the development of agent-based systems. We have compared different approaches based on roles for agent development. This paper illustrates ...
We investigate and discuss safety and privacy preserving properties of a game-theortic based coalition algorithm KCA for forming kernel stable coalitions among information agents ...
Product Distribution (PD) theory was recently developed as a framework for analyzing and optimizing distributed systems. In this paper we demonstrate its use for adaptive distribu...
Abstract. Companies in today’s automotive industry are under immense competitive pressure to reduce the length of their product development cycle from initial concept to begin of...
This paper explores hybrid agents that use a variety of techniques to improve their performance in an environment over time. We considered, specifically, geneticlearning-parentin...

New applications for autonomous robots bring them into the human environment where they are to serve as helpful assistants to untrained users in the home or office, or work as ca...
Decentralized MDPs provide a powerful formal framework for planning in multi-agent systems, but the complexity of the model limits its usefulness. We study in this paper a class o...
