In this paper we develop a novel probabilistic model of computational trust that explicitly deals with correlated multi-dimensional contracts. Our starting point is to consider an...

For embodied agents to engage in realistic multiparty conversation, they must stand in appropriate places with respect to other agents and the environment. When these factors chan...
Research on organization of Multi-Agent Systems (M.A.S.) has shown that by adapting its organization, a M.A.S. is better able to operate in dynamic environments. In this paper we ...

In many settings Web services are now perceived as the first choice technology to provide neatly encapsulated functionality for Web-based computation. To date, many standards hav...

We are interested in domains where an agent repeatedly negotiates with other agents over shared resources where the demand or utility to the agent for the shared resources vary ov...
Real-world behavior-based robot control problems require the coordination of a large number of competing behaviors. However, coordination becomes increasingly difficult as the num...
In Service-Oriented MAS middle-agents provide different kinds of matchmaking functionalities. If no adequate services are available for a specific request, a planning functionalit...
We propose an extension of alternating-time temporal logic, that can be used for reasoning about the behavior and abilities of agents under various rationality assumptions. Catego...
Diagrammatic methodologies for the representation of agent interaction protocols can be classified as joint representations that describe an interaction in terms of a single sequ...
This paper proposes programming constructs to improve the practical application of existing BDI-based agent-oriented programming languages that have formal semantics. The proposed...
