Multi-agent based peer-to-peer information retrieval systems with concurrent search sessions
In cooperative peer-to-peer information retrieval systems, each node can be considered an intelligent agent and these agents work collectively to provide an information retrieval ...

Formalizing typicality of objects and context-sensitivity in ontologies
In multiagent systems ontologies are essential because they facilitate tasks like communications and reasoning. In this paper, inspired by studies in cognitive psychology, we pres...

Comparing market and token-based coordination
Many coordination algorithms claim to be general, implying that they can be used to coordinate agents in a variety of domains. However, little work has been done to quantitatively...

Agent interface enhancement: making multiagent graphical models accessible
Multiagent probabilistic reasoning with multiply sectioned Bayesian networks requires interfacing agent subnets (the modeling task) subject to a set of conditions. To specify the ...
