  4. 2. Game Theory and Agents

    Author : Stefan J. Johansson; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Game Theory; Multi-Agent Systems; No Free Lunch Theorem; Characteristic Distributions;

    Abstract : A fundamental problem in multi agent systems is conflict resolution. A conflict occurs in general when the agents have to deal with inconsistent goals, such as a demand for shared resources. We investigate how a game theoretic approach may be a helpful and efficient tool in examining a class of conflicts in multi agent systems. READ MORE

  7. 5. Mapping and integration of schema representations of component specefications

    Author : Guy Davies; Love Ekenberg; Hamid Fujita; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Datavetenskap; specification; first order logic; verification; service integration; conceptual modeling; conflict; shema dynamics; Datavetenskap; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

    Abstract : Specification for process oriented applications tends to use languages that suffer from infinite, intractable or unpredictably irregular state spaces that thwart exhaustive searches by verification heuristics. However, conceptual schemas based on FOL, offer techniques for both integrating and verifying specifications in finite spaces. READ MORE
