This paper introduces a multi-robot cooperation approach to solve the pursuit evasion problem for mobile robots that have omnidirectional vision sensors in unknown environments. T...
In multi-agent systems where sets of joint actions (JAs) are generated, metrics are needed to evaluate these sets and efficiently allocate resources for the many JAs. For the case...

The ability to create reliable and scalable virtual organisations (VOs) on demand in a dynamic, open and competitive environment is one of the major challenges that underlie Grid ...

Information processing operations in support of intelligence analysis are of two kinds. They may sift relevant data from a larger body, thus reducing its quantity, or sort that dat...

Many multi-agent systems seek to reconcile two apparently inconsistent constraints. The system’s overall objective is defined at a global level. However, the agents have only lo...

Groups of collaborative agents within organizations need to create group awareness in order to act as a single entity. The notion of collective belief, which has been used extensi...
In this paper, we present an online method for POMDPs, called RTBSS (Real-Time Belief Space Search), which is based on a look-ahead search to find the best action to execute at e...
Agents often want to protect private information, while at the same acting upon the information. These two desires are in conflict, and this conflict can be modeled in strategic...
We describe a very large scale distributed robotic system, involving a team of over 100 robots, that has been successfully deployed in large, unknown indoor environments, over ext...
