Auctions are proposed as a distributed negotiation mean, particularly useful in multiagent systems where both cooperative and self-interested agents compete for resources and serv...
Recent years have seen dramatic and sustained growth in the amount of genomic data being generated, including in late 1999 the first complete sequence of a human chromosome. The c...

The research reported in this paper has both a scientific and a commercial aim. The scientific interest is to explore the use of contexts in order to improve the quality of informa...
Effective development of nontrivial systems of collaborative information agents requires that an in-depth analysis is made resulting in (1) specification of requirements at differe...
Abstract. Trust is important wherever agents must interact. We consider the important case of interactions in electronic communities, where the agents assist and represent principa...
Abstract. Currently, many kinds of information agents for di erent purposes exist. However, agents from di erent systems are still unable to cooperate, even if they accurately foll...
Abstract. The agent design problem is as follows: Given an environment, together with a specification of a task, is it possible to construct an agent that will guarantee to succes...
Abstract. Dyna is a single-agent architectural framework that integrates learning, planning, and reacting. Well known instantiations of Dyna are Dyna-AC and Dyna-Q. Here a multiage...
In this paper we propose a methodology to help analyse tendencies in MAS to complement those of simple inspection, Monte Carlo and syntactic proof. We suggest an architecture that ...
