Despite the success of the BDI approach to agent teamwork, initial role allocation (ie
deciding which agents to allocate to key roles in the team) and role reallocation upon failure …

This paper is concerned with evaluating different multiagent learning (MAL) algorithms in
problems where individual agents may be heterogenous, in the sense of utilizing different …

The goal of the Transhumance project is to devise a software platform to support the
execution of collaborative applications in a mobile ad hoc network. The application …

Agent integration architectures enable a heterogeneous, distributed set of agents to work
together to address problems of greater complexity than those addressed by the individual …

We present a distributed algorithm for task allocation in multi-agent systems for settings in
which agents and tasks are geographically dispersed in two-dimensional space. We …

Although much effort has been spent on suggesting and implementing new architectures of
Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), the evaluation and comparison of these has often been done in …

In 1998, the great social psychologist,(Jones, Gilbert et al. Fiske et al. Lindzey (eds), The
Handbook of Social Psychology, McGraw-Hill, 1998), asserted that interdependence was …

Nodes in an ad hoc grid are characterized by heterogeneity, autonomy, and volatility. These
characteristics result in varying workload of the resource manager in the ad hoc grid …

It is critical for agents in a multiagent environment to avoid interfering with each other when
carrying out their tasks. However, to avoid execution inefficiencies, they also should …

State of the art methods for ad hoc teamwork, ie, for collaboration without prior coordination,
often use a long history of prior observations to model the behavior of other agents (or agent …
