Negotiation is an important mechanism of coordination in multiagent systems. Contrary to early conceptualizations of negotiating agents, we believe that decisions regarding the neg...
Most of the Agent-Oriented software engineering methodologies that have been developed in the last years tend to propose a model-based approach to software development. To be put i...
The article presents a general model of the emergence of social order in multi-agent-systems (MAS). The agents consist of two types of neural networks that have the task to generat...
Collaboration plays a critical role when a group is striving for goals which are difficult or impossible to achieve by an individual. Knowledge about collaborators’ contribution...
Abstract. In this paper, an integrated approach for the modeling and the validation through simulation of multi-agent systems is proposed. The approach centers on the instantiation...
This paper presents a new method for predicting the values of policies for cloned multiple teleo-reactive robots operating in the context of exogenous events. A teleo-reactive robo...
Classical logic predicts that everything (thus nothing useful at all) follows from inconsistency. A paraconsistent logic is a logic where inconsistency does not lead to such an exp...
There is a wide agreement on the use of norms in order to specify the expected behaviour of agents in open MAS. However, current norm formalisms focus on the declarative nature of ...
