Intelligent coordination in complex multi-agent environments requires sophisticated mechanisms for suboptimal task decomposition and efficient resource allocation provided by the t...
Large-scale sensor networks are becoming more present in our life then ever. Such an environment could be a cellular network, an array of fire detection sensors, an array of solar ...
There is great promise in the idea of having agent or web services available on the internet, that can be flexibly composed to achieve more complex services, which can themselves t...
Abstract. Decentralised, event-driven distributed simulation is particularly suitable for modelling systems with inherent asynchronous parallelism, such as agentbased systems. Howe...

Electronic institutions are a formalism to define and analyse protocols among agents with a view to achieving global and individual goals. In this paper we propose a definition of ...
Systems of autonomous agents providing automated services over the Web are fast becoming a reality. Often these agent systems are constructed using procedural architectures that pr...
Natural, technological and man-made disasters are typically followed by chaos that results from an inadequate overall response. Three separate levels of coordination are addressed ...

Abstract. In this paper an agent-based segmentation approach is presented and discussed. The approach consists in the utilization of autonomous agents for the segmentation of a ran...
Abstract. This paper proposes a novel method to characterize the performance of autonomous agents in the Trading Agent Competition for Supply Chain Management (TAC-SCM). We create ...

Abstract. Online reputation mechanisms need honest feedback to function effectively. Self interested agents report the truth only when explicit rewards offset the cost of reporting...
