This paper presents a new negotiation mechanism and a new supplier model for Trading Agent Competition Supply Chain Management(TAC SCM). Under the new negotiation mechanism, an ag...
a growing need to study abstract problems in distributed multi-agent systems in a systematic way, as well as to provide a qualitative mathematical framework in which to compare po...
There is a growing need for a theory of “local to global” in distributed multi-agent systems, one which is able systematically to describe and analyze a variety of problems. T...
Efficient coordination among large numbers of heterogeneous agents promises to revolutionize the way in which some complex tasks, such as responding to urban disasters can be perf...

We consider a multiagent system whose task is to aid componentcentered design by collaborative designers in a supply chain. In the earlier work, collaborative design networks are ...
We present TECTLK, a logic to specify knowledge and real time in multi-agent systems. We show that the model checking problem is decidable, and we present an algorithm for TECTLK ...
Argumentation has received steadily increasing attention in the multi-agent systems community over the past decade, with particular interest in the use of argument models from the ...
The goal of engineering self-organising emergent systems is to acquire a macroscopic system behaviour solely from autonomous local activity and interaction. Due to the non-determin...
We develop a sound foundation for model checking algorithms for the class of PRS-style BDI agents, by showing how a reachability graph for any given PRS-type agent can be construc...
