A General Approach for Computing a Consensus in Group Decision Making That Integrates Multiple Ethical Principles
Francisco Salas-Molina, Filippo Bistaffa, Juan A. Rodriguez-Aguilar
We tackle the problem of computing a consensus according to multiple ethical principles -- which can include, for example, the principle of maximum freedom associated with the Bent…
A model to support collective reasoning: Formalization, analysis and computational assessment
Jordi Ganzer, Natalia Criado, Maite Lopez-Sanchez +2
Inspired by e-participation systems, in this paper we propose a new model to represent human debates and methods to obtain collective conclusions from them. This model overcomes dr…
Synergistic Team Composition: A Computational Approach to Foster Diversity in Teams
Ewa Andrejczuk, Filippo Bistaffa, Christian Blum +2
Co-operative learning in heterogeneous teams refers to learning methods in which teams are organised both to accomplish academic tasks and for individuals to gain knowledge. Compet…
Decentralized dynamic task allocation for UAVs with limited communication range
Marc Pujol-Gonzalez, Jesus Cerquides, Pedro Meseguer +2
We present the Limited-range Online Routing Problem (LORP), which involves a team of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) with limited communication range that must autonomously coordin…
Synthesising Evolutionarily Stable Normative Systems
Javier Morales, Michael Wooldridge, Juan A. Rodríguez-Aguilar +1
Within the area of multi-agent systems, normative systems are a widely used framework for the coordination of interdependent activities. A crucial problem associated with normative…
Improving Max-Sum through Decimation to Solve Loopy Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems
Jesús Cerquides, Rémi Emonet, Gauthier Picard +1
In the context of solving large distributed constraint optimization problems (DCOP), belief-propagation and approximate inference algorithms are candidates of choice. However, in g…
Automating decision making to help establish norm-based regulations
Maite Lopez-Sanchez, Marc Serramia, Juan A. Rodriguez-Aguilar +2
Norms have been extensively proposed as coordination mechanisms for both agent and human societies. Nevertheless, choosing the norms to regulate a society is by no means straightfo…
Synergistic Team Composition
Ewa Andrejczuk, Juan A. Rodriguez-Aguilar, Carme Roig +1
Effective teams are crucial for organisations, especially in environments that require teams to be constantly created and dismantled, such as software development, scientific exper…
Algorithms for Graph-Constrained Coalition Formation in the Real World
Filippo Bistaffa, Alessandro Farinelli, Jesús Cerquides +2
Coalition formation typically involves the coming together of multiple, heterogeneous, agents to achieve both their individual and collective goals. In this paper, we focus on a sp…
The Composition and Formation of Effective Teams. Computer Science meets Psychology
Ewa Andrejczuk, Rita Berger, Juan A. Rodriguez-Aguilar +2
Nowadays the composition and formation of effective teams is highly important for both companies to assure their competitiveness and for a wide range of emerging applications explo…
Trust-Based Mechanisms for Robust and Efficient Task Allocation in the Presence of Execution Uncertainty
Sarvapali Dyanand Ramchurn, Claudio Mezzetti, Andrea Giovannucci +3
Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanisms are often used to allocate tasks to selfish and rational agents. VCG mechanisms are incentive compatible, direct mechanisms that are efficien…
