Implementing QoS aware component-based applications
(2004)By QoS (Quality of Service), we often refer to a set of quality requirements on the collective behavior of one or more objects. These requirements enable the provision of better service to certain data flows. The developer ...

Layered strategies and protocols for argumentation-based agent interaction
(2005)Communication between agents needs to be flexible enough to encompass together a variety of different aspects such as, conformance to society protocols, private tactics of the individual agents, strategies that reflect ...

Multi-agent coordination and cooperation through classical planning
(2007)Multi-agent planning is a fundamental problem in multiagent systems that has acquired a variety of meanings in the relative literature. In this paper we focus on a setting where multiple agents with complementary capabilities ...

Multiagent reinforcement learning in the iterated prisoner's dilemma: Fast cooperation through evolved payoffs
(2010)In this paper, we investigate the importance of rewards in Multiagent Reinforcement Learning in the context of the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma. We use an evolutionary algorithm to evolve valid payoff structures with the ...

Multiagent reinforcement learning: Spiking and nonspiking agents in the Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma
(2011)This paper investigates multiagent reinforcement learning (MARL) in a general-sum game where the payoffs' structure is such that the agents are required to exploit each other in a way that benefits all agents. The contradictory ...

A performance analysis framework for mobile agent systems
(Springer Verlag, 2001)In this paper we propose a novel performance analysis ap- proach that can be used to gauge quantitatively the performance char- acteristics of different mobile-agent platforms. We materialize this ap- proach as a hierarchical ...

Personalized portals for the wireless and mobile user
(2003)The Wireless environment requires new type of services and new ways for structuring the needed content. Personalization comes into aid via the creation of personalized portals that directly tones down factors that break ...

Some theoretical results on the relationship between argumentation and coherence theory
(2017)This work provides initial results on the relationship between argumentation and Paul Thagard’s coherence theory. We study the relationship, via appropriate transformations, between different types of coherent graphs ...

Structural controllability and observability of linear systems over finite fields with applications to multi-agent systems
(2013)We develop a graph-theoretic characterization of controllability and observability of linear systems over finite fields. Specifically, we show that a linear system will be structurally controllable and observable over a ...

Tactics and concessions for argumentation-based negotiation
(2012)Argumentation-based negotiation has gained increasing prominence in the multi-agent field over the last years. There is currently a long literature on the use of argumentation in negotiation and especially the modeling of ...

A unified and general framework for argumentation-based negotiation
(2007)This paper proposes a unified and general framework for argumentation-based negotiation, in which the role of argumentation is formally analyzed. The framework makes it possible to study the outcomes of an argumentation-based ...

μ-SATPLAN: Multi-agent planning as satisfiability
(2012)Planning is a fundamental issue in multi-agent systems. In this work we focus on the coordination of multiple agents in two different settings. In the first, agents are able to attain individual goals that are necessary ...
