Negotiation in multi-agent systems [PDF]

open access: yesThe Knowledge Engineering Review, 1999
In systems composed of multiple autonomous agents, negotiation is a key form of interaction that enables groups of agents to arrive at a mutual agreement regarding some belief, goal or plan, for example. Particularly because the agents are autonomous and cannot be assumed to be benevolent, agents must influence others to convince them to act in certain

Deliberate Evolution in Multi-Agent Systems [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering, 2000
Evolution of automated systems, in particular evolution of automated agents based on agent deliberation, is the topic of this paper. Evolution is not a merely material process, it requires interaction within and between individuals, their environments and societies of agents.

Coordination of multi‐agent systems with arbitrary convergence time

open access: yesIET Control Theory & Applications, 2021
This paper proposes fixed‐time solutions to several problems in multi‐agent systems. First, a fixed‐time consensus protocol is investigated and under the assumption that the lower bound of smallest positive eigenvalue of the Laplacian matrix is known in ...

Consensus control of multi‐agent systems with switched linear dynamics

open access: yesIET Control Theory & Applications, 2023
In this work, the consensus problem of multi‐agent systems is addressed whose agent dynamics are described by the switched linear system, and the interaction topology is a directed graph.

mPower: A component-based development framework for multi-agent systems to support business processes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
One of the obstacles preventing the widespread adoption of multi-agent systems in industry is the difficulty of implementing heterogeneous interactions among participating agents via asynchronous messages.

Optimal consensus control for multi‐agent systems: Multi‐step policy gradient adaptive dynamic programming method

open access: yesIET Control Theory & Applications, 2023
This paper presents a novel adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) method to solve the optimal consensus problem for a class of discrete‐time multi‐agent systems with completely unknown dynamics.

A Multi-Agent Systems Contribution for Audit and Change Management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The progress made in Information Technology and the popularity of best practices have grown to give rise to new applications such as IT GRC. the good use of these applications requires communication and exchanges between these architectures. In front for

On the Relationship between Strand Spaces and Multi-Agent Systems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Strand spaces are a popular framework for the analysis of security protocols. Strand spaces have some similarities to a formalism used successfully to model protocols for distributed systems, namely multi-agent systems.
