Ontology matching is currently a key technology to achieve the semantic alignment of ontological entities used by knowledge-based applications, and therefore to enable their inter...
One of the major puzzles in performing multi-agent-based simulations is the validity of their results. Optimisation of simulation parameters can lead to results that can be deceit...
Forming effective coalitions is a major research challenge in the field of multi-agent systems. Central to this endeavour is the problem of determining the best set of agents that...
