Incorporating coalition formation algorithms into agent systems shall be advantageous due to the consequent increase in the overall quality of task performance. Coalition formatio...
We briefly overview the architecture of a diagnosis agent. We employ logic and logic programming to specify and implement the agent: the knowledge base uses extended logic progra...
Many agent-based systems rely for their effectiveness on the intelligence of individual agents, and interaction among agents is required simply to coordinate these individually com...
