Abstract. Autonomous agents are systems situated in dynamic environments. They pursue goals and satisfy their needs by responding to external events from the environment. In these ...
This paper presents a cooperative decentralized path-planning algorithm for a group of autonomous agents that provides guaranteed collisionfree trajectories in real-time. The algo...
In this paper we present some concepts and their relations that are necessary for modeling autonomous agents in an environment that is governed by some (social) norms. We divide th...
This paper provides an overview of research and development activities in the field of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. It aims to identify key concepts and applications...

Most of the research inthe area of expert finding focuses on creating and maintaining centralized directories of experts' profiles, which users can search on demand. However, ...
Autonomous agents that communicate using probabilistic information and use Bayesian networks for knowledge representation need an update mechanism that goes beyond conditioning on ...
A fundamental difficulty faced by groups of agents that work together is how to efficiently coordinate their efforts. This coordination problem is both ubiquitous and challenging,...
This paper presents and evaluates a decision making framework that enables autonomous agents to dynamically select the mechanism they employ in order to coordinate their inter-rela...
In open environments in which autonomous agents can break contracts, computational models of trust have an important role to play in determining who to interact with and how inter...
