An anonymous delegation system enables individuals to retrieve rights and to delegate different subparts of these rights to different entities. The delegation procedure is anonymous, such that no collusion of entities can track an individual’s delegation behavior. On the other hand, it is ensured that a user cannot abuse her delegation capabilities. This paper introduces a general delegation mo...

This paper studies the optimal design of delegation rule in a three-tier principalintermediary-agent hierarchy. In this hierarchy, monetary transfer is not feasible, delegation is made sequentially, and all players are strategic. We characterize the optimal delegation mechanism. It is shown that the singleinterval delegation a la Holmstrom is optimal only when the intermediary is moderately bia...

In this paper we explore the relationship between selforganization of multiagent systems and adjustable autonomy in intelligent agents. To discuss multiagent organizations, we introduce the Framework for selfOrganization and Robustness in Multiagent systems (FORM). This framework uses delegation as the central concept to define organizational relationships in taskassignment multiagent systems. ...

The main aim of access control models is to provide means to simplify the management of the security policy, which is a fastidious and error-prone task. Supporting delegation is considered as an important mean to decentralize the administration and therefore to allow security policy to be more flexible and easier to manipulate. Our main contribution is the proposition of a unified model to the ...

Delegation is the process whereby a user in a distributed environment authorizes a system to access remote resources on his behalf. In today’s distributed systems where all the resources required to carry out an operation are rarely local to the system to which the user is logged in, delegation is more often the rule than the exception. Yet, even with the use of state-of-the-art authentication ...
