Agents towards vehicle routing problems
A multi-agent VRP solver is presented in this paper. It utilizes the contract-net protocol based allocation and several improvement strategies. It provides the solution with the q...

Coalition structure generation in multi-agent systems with mixed externalities
Coalition structure generation (CSG) for multi-agent systems is a well-studied problem. A vast majority of the previous work and the state-of-the-art approaches to CSG assume a ch...

When should there be a "Me" in "Team"?: distributed multi-agent optimization under uncertainty
Increasing teamwork between agents typically increases the performance of a multi-agent system, at the cost of increased communication and higher computational complexity. This wo...

Parameterizing the winner determination problem for combinatorial auctions
Combinatorial auctions have been studied by the multiagent systems community for some time, since these auctions are an effective mechanism for resource allocation when agents are...

Pure Nash equilibria: complete characterization of hard and easy graphical games
We consider the computational complexity of pure Nash equilibria in graphical games. It is known that the problem is NP-complete in general, but tractable (i.e., in P) for special...

Strategy generation in multi-agent imperfect-information pursuit games
We describe a formalism and algorithms for game-tree search in partially-observable Euclidean space, and implementation and tests in a scenario where a multi-agent team, called tr...

Point-based backup for decentralized POMDPs: complexity and new algorithms
Decentralized POMDPs provide an expressive framework for sequential multi-agent decision making. Despite their high complexity, there has been significant progress in scaling up e...
