Consensus and cooperation in networked multi-agent systems

by Reza Olfati-saber, J. Alex Fax, Richard M. Murray - PROCEEDINGS OF THE IEEE
"... This paper provides a theoretical framework for analysis of consensus algorithms for multi-agent networked systems with an emphasis on the role of directed information flow, robustness to changes in network topology due to link/node failures, time-delays, and performance guarantees. An overview of ..."

End-To-End Arguments In System Design

by Jerome H. Saltzer, David P. Reed, David D. Clark , 1984
"... This paper presents a design principle that helps guide placement of functions among the modules of a distributed computer system. The principle, called the end-to-end argument, suggests that functions placed at low levels of a system may be redundant or of little value when compared with the cost o ..."

Towards flexible teamwork

by Milind Tambe - JOURNAL OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE RESEARCH , 1997
"... Many AI researchers are today striving to build agent teams for complex, dynamic multi-agent domains, with intended applications in arenas such as education, training, entertainment, information integration, and collective robotics. Unfortunately, uncertainties in these complex, dynamic domains obst ..."

Towards an Active Network Architecture

by David L. Tennenhouse, David J. Wetherall - Computer Communication Review , 1996
"... Active networks allow their users to inject customized programs into the nodes of the network. An extreme case, in which we are most interested, replaces packets with "capsules" -- program fragments that are executed at each network router/switch they traverse. Active architectures permit ..."

Active networks allow their users to inject customized programs into the nodes of the network. An extreme case, in which we are most interested, replaces packets with "capsules" -- program fragments that are executed at each network router/switch they traverse. Active architectures permit a massive increase in the sophistication of the computation that is performed within the network. They will enable new applications, especially those based on application-specific multicast, information fusion, and other services that leverage network-based computation and storage. Furthermore, they will accelerate the pace of innovation by decoupling network services from the underlying hardware and allowing new services to be loaded into the infrastructure on demand. In this paper, we describe our vision of an active network architecture, outline our approach to its design, and survey the technologies that can be brought to bear on its implementation. We propose that the research community mount a j...

A Roadmap of Agent Research and Development

by Nicholas R. Jennings, Katia Sycara - INT JOURNAL OF AUTONOMOUS AGENTS AND MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS , 1998
"... This paper provides an overview of research and development activities in the field of autonomous agents and multi-agent systems. It aims to identify key concepts and applications, and to indicate how they relate to one-another. Some historical context to the field of agent-based computing is give ..."

Distributed Computing in Practice: The Condor Experience

by Douglas Thain, Todd Tannenbaum, Miron Livny - Concurrency and Computation: Practice and Experience , 2005
"... Since 1984, the Condor project has enabled ordinary users to do extraordinary computing. Today, the project continues to explore the social and technical problems of cooperative computing on scales ranging from the desktop to the world-wide computational grid. In this chapter, we provide the history ..."
Abstract - Cited by 542 (7 self) - Add to MetaCart
the history and philosophy of the Condor project and describe how it has interacted with other projects and evolved along with the field of distributed computing. We outline the core components of the Condor system and describe how the technology of computing must correspond to social structures. Throughout

Practical network support for IP traceback

by Stefan Savage, David Wetherall, Anna Karlin, Tom Anderson , 2000
"... This paper describes a technique for tracing anonymous packet flooding attacks in the Internet back towards their source. This work is motivated by the increased frequency and sophistication of denial-of-service attacks and by the difficulty in tracing packets with incorrect, or “spoofed”, source ad ..."

Toward an instance theory of automatization

by Gordon D. Logan - Psychological Review , 1988
"... This article presents a theory in which automatization is construed as the acquisition of a domain-specific knowledge base, formed of separate representations, instances, of each exposure to the task. Processing is considered automatic if it relies on retrieval of stored instances, which will occur ..."
Abstract - Cited by 613 (37 self) - Add to MetaCart
only after practice in a consistent environment. Practice is important because it increases the amount retrieved and the speed of retrieval; consistency is important because it ensures that the retrieved instances will be useful. The theory accounts quantitatively for the power-function speed

BDI Agents: From Theory to Practice

by Anand S. Rao, Michael P. Georgeff - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS (ICMAS-95 , 1995
"... The study of computational agents capable of rational behaviour has received a great deal of attention in recent years. Theoretical formalizations of such agents and their implementations have proceeded in parallel with little or no connection between them. This paper explores a particular typ ..."

Commitments and conventions: The foundation of coordination in multi-agent systems

by Nick R. Jennings - The Knowledge Engineering Review , 1993
"... Distributed Artificial Intelligence systems, in which multiple agents interact to improve their individual performance and to enhance the system’s overall utility, are becoming an increasingly pervasive means of conceptualising a diverse range of applications. As the discipline matures, researchers ..."
Abstract - Cited by 268 (33 self) - Add to MetaCart

An analysis of existing coordination models which use concepts akin to commitments and conventions is undertaken before a new unifying framework is presented. Finally a number
