In open, dynamic multi-agent systems, agents may form short-term ad-hoc groups, such as coalitions, in order to meet their goals. Trust and reputation are crucial concepts in thes...
Abstract--Norm-enforcement models applied in human societies may serve as an inspiration for the design of multi-agent systems. Models for norm-enforcement in multi-agent systems o...

Multi-agent systems (MASs), comprised of autonomous entities with the aim to cooperate to reach a common goal, may be viewed as computational models of distributed complex systems ...
This paper presents a generic meta-model of multi-agent systems based on organizational concepts such as groups, roles and structures. This model, called AALAADIN, defines a very ...
: Software agent technology has matured enough to produce intelligent agents, which can be used to control a large number of concurrent engineering tasks. Multi-agent systems are c...

Artifacts for Multi-Agent Systems have been defined as runtime entities providing some kind of function or service that agents can fruitfully exploit to achieve their individual o...
Fault tolerance is an important property of large-scale multiagent systems as the failure rate grows with both the number of the hosts and deployed agents, and the duration of com...
Abstract. We introduce a logical framework suitable to formalize structures of epistemic agents. Such a framework is based on the notion of weighted directed acyclic graphs (WDAGs)...
People tend to form social networks within geographical areas. This can be explained by the fact that generally geographical localities correspond to common interests (e.g. studen...
Organisational structures for multi-agent systems are usually defined independently of any spatial and temporal structure. Therefore, when the multi-agent system is situated in a ...
