Distributed allocation and multiagent coordination problems can be solved through combinatorial auctions (CAs). However, most of the existing winner determination algorithms (WDAs...
A network of cooperating agents must be able to reach rough consensus on a set of topics for cooperation. With highly heterogeneous agents, however, incommensurable measures and i...
This paper investigates software agents testing, and in particular how to automate test generation. We propose a novel approach, which takes advantage of agent interaction ontolog...
Computational grids offer users a simple access to tremendous computer resources for solving large scale computing problems. Traditional performance analysis of scheduling algorit...
The implementation of software systems with large numbers of heterogeneous components calls for a powerful design methodology. Although several such methodologies have been propos...
In most of the existing approaches to the design of multiagent systems, there is no clear way in which to relate organisational and normative structures to the model of the enviro...
In this paper, we describe the development of an Embodied Conversational Agent (ECA) implementing the concept of a companion, i.e. an agent supporting the persistent representatio...

The design of deterministic and fair mechanisms for selection among a set of self-motivated agents based solely on these agents' input is a major challenge in multiagent syst...
As increasing numbers of processors and agents pervade the human environment, societies comprising both humans and agents will emerge. Presently, it is unknown how a person might ...
