We investigate the application of multi-agent systems to develop intelligent information interfaces for connected communities, a class of computer applications aimed at enhancing ...
Cooperation among autonomous agents has been discussed in the DAI community for several years. Papers about cooperation 6,45 , negotiation 33 , distributed planning 5 , and coalit...
Abstract The last edition of CLIMA, held in 2001 in Paphos (Cyprus) ended with a panel session on the role of Computational Logic (CL) in Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). Two dimensions ...
We describe a framework and equations used to model and predict the behavior of multi-agent systems (MASs) with learning agents. A difference equation is used for calculating the ...
In the last years, dozens of environments for modeling, testing and finally implementing multi-agent systems have been developed. Unfortunately, no standard criteria for understand...
Recently, two advances in agent-oriented software engineering have had a significant impact: the identification of interaction and coordination as the central focus of multi-agent ...
The aim of this research is to assess the r^ole of a hypothetical inherited feature (gene) promoting altruism between relatives as a factor for survival in the context of a multi-...
In this paper we overview one specific approach to the formal development of multi-agent systems. This approach is based on the use of temporal logics to represent both the behavio...
Cooperation logics have recently begun to attract attention within the multi-agent systems community. Using a cooperation logic, it is possible to represent and reason about the s...
Cooperative multi-agent systems are ones in which several agents attempt, through their interaction, to jointly solve tasks or to maximize utility. Due to the interactions among t...
