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 ...
This paper studies scalable data delivery algorithms in mobile ad hoc sensor networks with node and link failures. Many algorithms have been developed for data delivery and fusion...

This paper develops a new combinatorial auction protocol called the Groves Mechanism with SubModular Approximation (GM-SMA). This protocol satisfies the following characteristics:...
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...
This paper proposes a general solution model using agent technology in order to solve two critical open issues in the course timetabling problem: application-specific issues and d...
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...

Multiagent probabilistic reasoning with multiply sectioned Bayesian networks requires interfacing agent subnets (the modeling task) subject to a set of conditions. To specify the ...
Assigning tasks to agents is complex, especially in highly dynamic environments. Typical protocol-based approaches for task assignment such as Contract Net have proven their value...
We study how decentralized agents can develop a shared vocabulary without global coordination. Answering this question can help us understand the emergence of many communication s...
