Worst-case equilibria

by Elias Koutsoupias, Christos Papadimitriou - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE 16TH ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM ON THEORETICAL ASPECTS OF COMPUTER SCIENCE , 1999
"... In a system in which noncooperative agents share a common resource, we propose the ratio between the worst possible Nash equilibrium and the social optimum as a measure of the effectiveness of the system. Deriving upper and lower bounds for this ratio in a model in which several agents share a ver ..."

Consensus and cooperation in networked multi-agent systems

by Reza Olfati-saber, J. Alex Fax, Richard M. Murray - PROCEEDINGS OF THE IEEE
"... This paper provides a theoretical framework for analysis of consensus algorithms for multi-agent networked systems with an emphasis on the role of directed information flow, robustness to changes in network topology due to link/node failures, time-delays, and performance guarantees. An overview of ..."

The Role of Emotion in Believable Agents

by Joseph Bates - Communications of the ACM , 1994
"... Articial intelligence researchers attempting to create engaging apparently living creatures may nd important insight in the work of artists who have explored the idea of believable character In particular appropriately timed and clearly expressed emotion is a central requirement for believable ch ..."
Abstract - Cited by 548 (1 self) - Add to MetaCart
researchers have long wished to build robots and their cousins called agents that seem to think feel and live These are creatures with whom you d want to share some of your life as with a companion or a social pet For instance in his

On agent-based software engineering

by Nicholas R. Jennings, Michael Wooldridge - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE , 2000
"... Agent-oriented techniques represent an exciting new means of analysing, designing and building complex software systems. They have the potential to significantly improve current practice in software engineering and to extend the range of applications that can feasibly be tackled. Yet, to date, there ..."

Grid Information Services for Distributed Resource Sharing

by Karl Czajkowski , Steven Fitzgerald, Ian Foster, Carl Kesselman , 2001
"... Grid technologies enable large-scale sharing of resources within formal or informal consortia of individuals and/or institutions: what are sometimes called virtual organizations. In these settings, the discovery, characterization, and monitoring of resources, services, and computations are challengi ..."

Is it an Agent, or just a Program?: A Taxonomy for Autonomous Agents

by Stan Franklin, Art Graesser - In Intelligent Agents III , 1997
"... The advent of software agents gave rise to much discussion of just what such an agent is, and of how they differ from programs in general. Here we propose a formal definition of an autonomous agent which clearly distinguishes a software agent from just any program. We also offer the beginnings of a ..."

A Roadmap of Agent Research and Development

by Nicholas R. Jennings, Katia Sycara - INT JOURNAL OF AUTONOMOUS AGENTS AND MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS , 1998
"... This paper provides an overview of research and development activities in the field of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. It aims to identify key concepts and applications, and to indicate how they relate to one-another. Some historical context to the field of agent-based computing is give ..."

A Methodology for Agent-Oriented Analysis and Design

by Michael Wooldridge , Nicholas R. Jennings, David Kinny , 1999
"... This paper presents a methodology for agent-oriented analysis and design. The methodology is general, in that it is applicable to a wide range of multi-agent systems, and comprehensive, in that it deals with both the macro-level (societal) and the micro-level (agent) aspects of systems. The methodol ..."

Markov games as a framework for multi-agent reinforcement learning

by Michael L. Littman - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE ELEVENTH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MACHINE LEARNING , 1994
"... In the Markov decision process (MDP) formalization of reinforcement learning, a single adaptive agent interacts with an environment defined by a probabilistic transition function. In this solipsistic view, secondary agents can only be part of the environment and are therefore fixed in their behavior ..."

in their behavior. The framework of Markov games allows us to widen this view to include multiple adaptive agents with interacting or competing goals. This paper considers a step in this direction in which exactly two agents with diametrically opposed goals share an environment. It describes a Q

Coordination of Groups of Mobile Autonomous Agents Using Nearest Neighbor Rules

by A. Jadbabaie, J. Lin, A. S. Morse , 2002
"... In a recent Physical Review Letters paper, Vicsek et. al. propose a simple but compelling discrete-time model of n autonomous agents fi.e., points or particlesg all moving in the plane with the same speed but with dierent headings. Each agent's heading is updated using a local rule based on ..."
