In the last few years, the number of papers devoted to applications of agent-based
technologies to traffic and transportation engineering has grown enormously. Thus, it seems …

Previous work on assigning tasks to robots has proposed extensive categorizations of
allocation of tasks with and without constraints. The main contribution of this paper is a …

The field of multi-agent system (MAS) is an active area of research within artificial
intelligence, with an increasingly important impact in industrial and other real-world …

Intelligent agents is a research area of the Artificial Intelligence intensely studied since the
1980s. Multi-agent systems represent a powerful paradigm of analyzing, projecting, and …

Distributed constraint optimization (DCOP) problems are a popular way of formulating and
solving agent-coordination problems. A DCOP problem is a problem where several agents …

Traffic congestion in urban road networks is a costly problem that affects all major cities in
developed countries. To tackle this problem, it is possible (i) to act on the supply side …

We consider the multi-robot task scheduling problem with precedence constraints, and
introduce a general algorithm to approximate a solution to this problem. Our algorithm …

Task allocation is ubiquitous in computer science and robotics, yet some problems have
received limited attention in the computer science and AI community. Specifically, we will …

Real-time optimization of the dynamic flow of vehicle traffic through a network of signalized
intersections is an important practical problem. In this paper, we take a decentralized …

Visually track several moving persons engaged in close interactions is known to be a very
hard problem, though 3-D approaches based on stereo vision and plan-view maps offer …
