This survey characterizes an emerging research area, sometimes called coordination theory, that focuses on the interdisciplinary study of coordination. Research in this area uses …
This book presents an overview of formal decision making methods for decentralized cooperative systems. It is aimed at graduate students and researchers in the fields of …
The study of multi-agent systems (MAS) focuses on systems in which many intelligent agents interact with each other. These agents are considered to be autonomous entities such as …
This is the first comprehensive introduction to multiagent systems and contemporary distributed artificial intelligence that is suitable as a textbook. The book provides detailed …
The autonomous polygeneration microgrid topology has been developed in order to cover holistically needs in a remote area such as electrical energy, space heating and cooling …
Most artificial intelligence research investigates intelligent behavior for a single agent-- solving problems heuristically, understanding natural language, and so on. Distributed …
K Tumer, D Wolpert - Collectives and the design of complex systems, 2004 - Springer
Due to the increasing sophistication and miniaturization of computational components, complex, distributed systems of interacting agents are becoming ubiquitous. Such systems …
Cooperative Distributed Problem-Solving (CDPS) studies how a loosely-coupled network of problem solvers can work together to solve problems that are beyond their individual …
