Asset Administration Shell: Domain Specific Language Approach to Integrate Heterogeneous Device Endpoints
Manufacturing systems face the challenge of connecting different actuators. A uniform integration of interfaces is already used in practice. However, how these interfaces are connected is usually the responsib...

On the Convergence of Swap Dynamics to Pareto-Optimal Matchings
We study whether Pareto-optimal stable matchings can be reached via pairwise swaps in one-to-one matching markets with initial assignments. We consider housing markets, marriage markets, and roommate markets ...

A constraint programming-based approach to a large-scale energy management problem with varied constraints
This paper addresses a large-scale power plant maintenance scheduling and production planning problem, which has been proposed by the ROADEF/EURO Challenge 2010. We develop two lower bounds for the problem: a ...

From Arrow’s Impossibility to Schwartz’s Tournament Equilibrium Set
Perhaps the most influential result in social choice theory is Arrow’s impossibility theorem, which states that a seemingly modest set of desiderata cannot be satisfied when aggregating preferences [1]. While ...

Tournament Solutions and Their Applications to Multiagent Decision Making
Given a finite set of alternatives and choices between all pairs of alternatives, how to choose from the entire set in a way that is faithful to the pairwise comparisons? This simple, yet captivating, problem ...

On Correctness and Privacy in Distributed Mechanisms
Mechanisms that aggregate the possibly conflicting preferences of individual agents are studied extensively in economics, operations research, and lately computer science. Perhaps surprisingly, the classic lit...

Task Assignment in Multiagent Systems Based on Vickrey-Type Auctioning and Leveled Commitment Contracting
A key problem addressed in the area of multiagent systems is the automated assignment of multiple tasks to executing agents. The automation of multiagent task assignment requires that the individual agents (i) us...
