The coalition structure generation problem is a natural abstraction of one of the most
important challenges in multi-agent systems: How can a number of agents divide …

This paper surveys the literature over the last decades in the field of self-organizing
multiagent systems. Self-organization has been extensively studied and applied in …

Bayesian methods for machine learning have been widely investigated, yielding principled
methods for incorporating prior information into inference algorithms. In this survey, we …

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 …

Introduction Coalitions are a central part of economic, political, and social life, and coalition
formation has been studied extensively within the mathematical social sciences. Agents (be …

This paper studies fog computing systems, in which cloud data centers can be
supplemented by a large number of fog nodes deployed in a wide geographical area. Each …

In this paper, we study the problem of cooperative interference management in an OFDMA
two-tier small cell network. In particular, we propose a novel approach for allowing the small …

As a result of rapid development in electronics and communication technology, large-scale
unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are harnessed for various promising applications in a …

Agents that interact with other agents often do not know a priori what the other agents'
strategies are, but have to maximise their own online return while interacting with and …

In this paper, we study a new approach to horizontal collaboration, the so-called coalition
configuration among partnering companies through sharing distribution centers in a network …
