Cooperative Information Sharing to Improve Distributed Learning in Multi-Agent Systems

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a post-task completion sharing protocol for the distribution of state information between agents in a partially-observable domain, where the accuracy and timeliness of the communicated information determine the fidelity of the learned estimates and the usefulness of the actions taken based on these.

Valuing Search and Communication in Partially-Observable Coordination Problems (Extended Abstract)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors extend the class of Bayesian coordination games to include explicit observation and communication, and argue that this class of games is appropriate for situations where the agents observation, communication and payoff earning actions are limited by some common resource, without introducing arbitrary penalties for communicating.

Reasoning about commitments in multiple concurrent negotiations

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the situation in which a buyer agent is looking for a single service provider from a number of available ones in its environment and provide and evaluate a commitment manager and integrate it into the negotiation model.

Poster abstract. Applying extended kalman filters to adaptivethermal modelling in homes

TL;DR: In this paper, an extended Kalman filter is used for parameter estimation for a room in a family home to obtain sufficient knowledge of the thermal dynamics of the home to build an adaptive thermal model.

Flexibly Priced Options: A New Mechanism for Sequential Auctions with Complementary Goods.

TL;DR: This work proposes a novel option pricing mechanism for reducing the exposure problem encountered by bidders with complementary valuations when participating in sequential, second-price auction markets, and shows that it can achieve better market allocation efficien y, at an only marginal cost to seller revenues.
