Flexible Multi-Agent Proto ols

Dialogue Proto ols for Multi-Agent Systems

Modularity in Interaction Protocols

ABSTRACT Proto ols or part of proto ols are frequently reused through proje ts if they are suÆ iently generi . For instan e, the Contra t Net proto ol an be used verbatim or in other proto ols su h as the supply hain management. This reusability might be diÆ ult to do due to the la k of reusability in urrent intera tion proto ol formalisms. In this paper, we present a new approa h based on a mo...

Multicast Congestion Control with Distrusted Receivers

ABSTRACT Congestion ontrol proto ols rely on re eivers to support fair bandwidth sharing. However, a re eiver has in entives to eli it self-bene ial bandwidth allo ations and hen e may manipulate its ongestion ontrol proto ol. Whereas the issue of re eiver misbehavior has been studied for uni ast ongestion ontrol, the impa t of re eiver misbehavior in multi ast remains unexplored. In this paper...

Adaptive Task and Resource Allocation in Multi-Agent Systems

ABSTRACT In this paper, we present an adaptive organizational poli y for multi-agent systems alled tra e. tra e allows a olle tion of multi-agent organizations to dynami ally allo ate tasks and resour es between themselves in order to eÆ iently pro ess an in oming stream of task requests. tra e is intended to ope with environments in whi h tasks have time onstraints, and environments that are s...
