Analysis of an evolutionary reinforcement learning method in a multiagent domain
Many multiagent problems comprise subtasks which can be considered as reinforcement learning (RL) problems. In addition to classical temporal difference methods, evolutionary algo...

An agent-oriented approach to support change propagation in software evolution
Software maintenance and evolution is arguably a lengthy and expensive phase in the life cycle of a software system. A critical issue at this phase is change propagation: given a ...

A few good agents: multi-agent social learning
In this paper, we investigate multi-agent learning (MAL) in a multi-agent resource selection problem (MARS) in which a large group of agents are competing for common resources. Si...

Annotation and Matching of First-Class Agent Interaction Protocols
Many practitioners view agent interaction protocols as rigid specifications that are defined a priori, and hard-code their agents with a set of protocols known at design time -- a...
