The utility of our actions frequently depends upon the beliefs and behavior of other agents.
Thankfully, through experience, we learn norms and conventions that provide stable …

Modeling the dynamics of multi-agent learning has long been an important research topic.
The focus of previous research has been either on 2-agent settings or well-mixed infinitely …

The main research focus of Web services is to achieve the interoperability between
distributed and heterogeneous applications. Therefore, flexible composition of Web services …

Complex systems often exhibit emergent behaviour, unexpected macro-level behaviour
caused by the interaction of micro-level components. In multiagent systems, these micro …

We study the role of noise on the nature of the transition to collective motion in dry active
matter. Starting from field theories that predict a continuous transition at the deterministic …

Many multi-agent systems consist of a complex network of autonomous yet interdependent
agents. Examples of such networked multi-agent systems include supply chains and sensor …

Sociolinguistic studies have demonstrated that centrally-connected and peripheral members
of social networks can both propel and impede the spread of linguistic innovations. We use …

The way in which social conventions emerge in communities has been of interest to social
scientists for decades. Here we report on the emergence of a particular social convention on …

We present the notion of Social Instruments as mechanisms that facilitate the emergence of
conventions from repeated interactions between members of a society. Specifically, we …

Social dilemmas have attracted extensive interest in the research of multiagent systems in
order to study the emergence of cooperative behaviors among selfish agents …
