Storytelling applications are increasingly being used and researched due to the fact that they are capable of conveying information and experience to users in a more natural and f...
We consider the problem of distributed task allocation across swarm units comprising a swarm-based system. We model task allocation as a dynamic pricing problem within a market se...
Comprehending and verifying agent system behavior is an arduous task when dealing with complex multiagent systems whose behaviors are sophisticated. This paper presents an approac...
We present an experimental comparison of different genetic operators regarding their use in an evolutionary learning method that searches for unwanted emergent behavior in a multi...
Determining the performance of an organization is a must for both human and multi-agent organizations. The performance analysis enables organizations to uncover unexpected propert...
In this paper we present a formalism for symbolic negotiation. We regard symbolic negotiation as cooperative problem solving (CPS), which is based on symbolic reasoning and is ext...
Combinatorial Auctions (CAs), where users bid on combination of items, have emerged as a useful tool for resource allocation in distributed systems. However, two main difficulties...
In this paper a cognitive model for visual attention is introduced. The cognitive model is part of the design of a software agent that supports a naval warfare officer in its task...
Negotiating with suppliers and with customers is a key part of supply chain management. However, with recent technological advances, the mechanisms available to carry out such act...
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to solving the distributed constraint optimisation problem (DCOP) that guarantees completeness, while having linear communication comple...
