We present an approach to the verification of temporal epistemic properties in synchronous multi-agent systems (MAS) via bounded model checking (BMC). Based on the semantics of s...

In the article we present two untraceability protocols for mobile agents. Comparing to other solutions, the advantage of the protocols is that they support agent’s autonomy in c...
The central mechanism design problem is to develop incentives for agents to truthfully reveal their preferences over different outcomes, so that the system-wide outcome chosen by ...
Matchmaking will be an important component of future agent and agent-like systems, such as the semantic web. Most research on matchmaking has been directed toward sophisticated ma...
Software comprehension (understanding software structure and behavior) is essential for developing, maintaining, and improving software. This is particularly true of agent-based s...
