Cooperative Co-evolution and Adaptive Team Composition for a Multi-rover Resource Allocation Problem
In this paper, we are interested in ad hoc autonomous agent team composition using cooperative co-evolutionary algorithms (CCEA). In order to accurately capture the individual contribution of team agents, we p...

Swap dynamics in single-peaked housing markets
This paper focuses on the problem of fairly and efficiently allocating resources to agents. We consider a specific setting, usually referred to as a housing market, where each agent must receive exactly one resou...

Representation of Explanations of Possibilistic Inference Decisions
In this paper, we study how to explain to end-users the inference results of possibilistic rule-based systems. We formulate a necessary and sufficient condition for justifying by a relevant subset of rule prem...

Preference Aggregation in the Generalised Unavailable Candidate Model
While traditional social choice models assume that the set of candidates is known and fixed in advance, recently several researchers [2, 5, 7, 15, 18] have proposed to reject this hypothesis. In particular, the u...

Minimizing and Balancing Envy Among Agents Using Ordered Weighted Average
In fair resource allocation, envy freeness (EF) is one of the most interesting fairness criteria as it ensures no agent prefers the bundle of another agent. However, when considering indivisible goods, an EF a...

Negotiation and Persuasion Among Agents
This chapter presents several techniques allowing agents to come up with an agreement. We start by discussing negotiation among two agents: after having recalled the axiomatic approach of Nash, we present a st...

Local envy-freeness in house allocation problems
We study the fair division problem consisting in allocating one item per agent so as to avoid (or minimize) envy, in a setting where only agents connected in a given network may experience envy. In a variant o...

Multiagent Resource Allocation: The Power and Limitations of Bilateral Deals (Extended Abstract)
This is a companion extended abstract to the invited talk given at EUMAS-2017. The talk was mostly based on [3, 4].

Introducing Causality in Business Rule-Based Decisions
Decision automation is expanding as many corporations capture and operate their business policies through business rules. Because laws and corporate regulations require transparency, decision automation must a...

A Parametrized Ranking-Based Semantics for Persuasion
In this paper we question the ability of the existant ranking semantics for argumentation to capture persuasion settings, emphasizing in particular the phenomena of protocatalepsis (the fact that it is often e...

Aggregating CP-nets with Unfeasible Outcomes
We consider settings where a collection of agents express preferences over a set of candidates with a combinatorial structure via the use of CP-nets, and we need to exploit the information contained in the CP-...

Empirical Evaluation of Strategies for Multiparty Argumentative Debates
Debating agents have often different areas of expertise and conflicting opinions on the subjects under discussion. They are faced with the problem of deciding how to contribute to the current state of the deba...

Rewriting Rules for the Computation of Goal-Oriented Changes in an Argumentation System
When several agents are engaged in an argumentation process, they are faced with the problem of deciding how to contribute to the current state of the debate in order to satisfy their own goal, ie. to make an ...

New Results on Equilibria in Strategic Candidacy
We consider a voting setting where candidates have preferences about the outcome of the election and are free to join or leave the election. The corresponding candidacy game, where candidates choose strategica...

On the Outcomes of Multiparty Persuasion
In recent years, several bilateral protocols regulating the exchange of arguments between agents have been proposed. When dealing with persuasion, the objective is to arbitrate among conflicting viewpoints. Of...

Minimal and Complete Explanations for Critical Multi-attribute Decisions
The ability to provide explanations along with recommended decisions to the user is a key feature of decision-aiding tools. We address the question of providing minimal and complete explanations, a problem rel...

Towards Efficient Multi-agent Abduction Protocols
What happens when distributed sources of information (agents) hold and acquire information locally, and have to communicate with neighbouring agents in order to refine their hypothesis regarding the actual glo...

Open AccessSimple negotiation schemes for agents with simple preferences: sufficiency, necessity and maximality
We investigate the properties of an abstract negotiation framework where agents autonomously negotiate over allocations of indivisible resources. In this framework, reaching an allocation that is optimal may r...
