Forming effective coalitions is a major research challenge in the field of multi-agent systems. Central to this endeavour is the problem of partitioning the set of agents into exh...
In the last few years, argumentation frameworks have been successfully applied to multi agent systems. Recently, argumentation has been used to provide a framework for reasoning a...
We introduce four measures for the change of coalitions in social networks. The first one measures the change of the agents in the network over time, The second one measures the ...

We describe a general mechanism for adaptation in multiagent systems in which agents modify their behavior based on their memory of past events. These behavior changes can be elic...
Abstract. This paper addresses strategies for the stable marriage problem. For the Gale-Shapley algorithm with men proposing, a classical theorem states that it is impossible for e...
We consider PAC learning of simple cooperative games, in which the coalitions are partitioned into "winning" and "losing" coalitions. We analyze the complexity...
Autonomous agents are designed to reach goals that were pre-de ned by their operators. An important way to execute tasks and to maximize payo is to share resources and to cooperate...
The need to securely share information on an ad-hoc basis between collaborating entities is increasingly becoming important. We propose a coalition based access control model (CBAC...
This paper focuses on the problem of generating coalition structures for task allocation via coalition formation. It provides a unified formal framework for constructing those co...
Coalition formation is a key topic in multi–agent systems (mas). Coalitions enable agents to achieve goals that they may not have been able to achieve independently, and encoura...
