The price of democracy in coalition formation
Whenever rational agents form coalitions to execute tasks, doing so via a decentralized negotiation process—while more robust and democratic—may lead to a loss of efficiency ...

Effective solutions for real-world Stackelberg games: when agents must deal with human uncertainties
How do we build multiagent algorithms for agent interactions with human adversaries? Stackelberg games are natural models for many important applications that involve human intera...

Point-based incremental pruning heuristic for solving finite-horizon DEC-POMDPs
Recent scaling up of decentralized partially observable Markov decision process (DEC-POMDP) solvers towards realistic applications is mainly due to approximate methods. Of this fa...

Of robot ants and elephants
Investigations of multi-robot systems often make implicit assumptions concerning the computational capabilities of the robots. Despite the lack of explicit attention to the comput...

Increasing the expressiveness of virtual agents: autonomous generation of speech and gesture for spatial description tasks
Embodied conversational agents are required to be able to express themselves convincingly and autonomously. Based on an empirial study on spatial descriptions of landmarks in dire...

Achieving goals in decentralized POMDPs
Coordination of multiple agents under uncertainty in the decentralized POMDP model is known to be NEXP-complete, even when the agents have a joint set of goals. Nevertheless, we s...

False name manipulations in weighted voting games: splitting, merging and annexation
An important aspect of mechanism design in social choice protocols and multiagent systems is to discourage insincere and manipulative behaviour. We examine the computational compl...
