Effective human teams often benefit from proactivity through members' capability of anticipating different needs of teammates. In this paper, we focus on three issues related to the behavior of proactive information delivery. Two types of information ...

In this research, we propose group formation that enhances the performance of multiagent systems in the Social Dilemmas. As the mechanisms for group formation, mutual choice mechanism for 2-IPD is extended to that for N-IPD. Furthermore, group split ...

One of the important advantages of a distributed multi-agent system comes from the parallelism that can be realized by distributing data over a network of agents. A properly designed distributed agent system can scale to handle arbitrarily large data ...

The large and growing number of PDAs, tablet computers, JavaPhones, and other small footprint devices are a tempting target for deployment of multiagent systems (MAS). In this paper we describe previous and ongoing efforts to develop Cougaar ...

According to the taxonomy for agent activity, proposed by V. Parunak, a collaboration is an interaction between agents of a multi-agent system (MAS) whereby the agents explicitly coordinate their actions before they cooperate. We discuss two sub-types ...

In this paper, we explain the implementation and evaluation of Active Agent Repository based multiagent framework to improve performance of the agent's cooperative works by using the behavioral history of each agent. We demonstrate the experimental ...

Efficient management of large-scale, distributed data storage and processing systems is a major challenge for many computational applications. Many of these systems are characterized by multi resource tasks processed across a heterogeneous network. ...

The notion of goals, which tend to have strong properties (e.g. goals should be consistent, feasible, not yet achieved, etc.) has received more attention than other motivational notions such as desires. Desires seem more applicable in a multi-agent ...

With the advent of powerful portable devices that allow people to always stay connected everywhere, there is a growing demand for location-aware services. Location tracking of moving objects or location-aware services (LAS) is becoming increasingly ...

Dynamic service synthesis is one of the key aims of the EU Agentcities project [1]. This seeks to generate new services through reusing and combining existing services. Agent-based services are commonly represented and accessed using specific ontologies ...

Open agent services exist as heterogeneous technologies in large scale interoperable networks. The openness of such services is aggregated into multi-heterogeneous domains where it is exposed to security threats. There are also issues of various domain ...

This paper discusses storing and analyzing the hierarchical planning results in the past in order to identify implicit costs and resource relationships between activities in multi-agent contexts.

In this paper, we proposed an agent-based middleware for Job Matchmaking in a teleworking community. We built an agent-based model of organizing distributed teleworkers for big projects and designed a multi-agent system that performs job matchmaking. ...

We present an approach to modelling the collaborative mission planning process, called Agent Assisted Mission Planning (AAMP), for use in distributed multiagent decision support systems. The AAMP approach is based on the use of adaptive agent teamwork ...

In this paper, we propose a distributed multi-strategy learning methodology based on case-based reasoning in which an agent conducts both individual learning by observing its environment and cooperative learning by interacting with its neighbors. ...
