Multiagent resource allocation is a timely and exciting area of research at the interface of Computer Science and Economics. One of the main challenges in this area is the high co...
We present a new polynomial-space algorithm for solving Distributed Constraint Optimization problems (DCOP). The algorithm, called NCBB, is branch and bound search with modificati...
Knowledge transfer between expert and novice agents is a challenging problem given that the knowledge representation and learning algorithms used by the novice learner can be fund...
Distributed constraint optimization (DCOP) has emerged as a useful technique for multiagent coordination. While previous DCOP work focuses on optimizing a single team objective, i...
In the development of disciplines addressing dynamics, such as Mathematics and Physics, a major role was played by the assumption that processes can be modelled by introducing cer...
Comprehending and analyzing agent behavior is an arduous task due to complexities in agent systems and sophistication of agent behaviors, in addition to the common difficulties wi...
This paper describes simulations designed to test the relative efficiency of two different sequential auction mechanisms for allocating compute resources between users in a shared...
