X Abstract

The $-calculus process algebra for problem solving applies the cost performance measures to converge to optimal solutions with minimal problem solving costs. The same meta-level kΩ-optimization control can be used to find the best quality solutions (expressed as optimization problems), the most effective solutions (expressed as search optimization problems), or to find solutions representing the tradeoff between the best quality and least costly solutions (expressed as totally optimization problems). The total optimization is described as an instance of multiobjective optimization. In this paper we demonstrate that cooperation and competition of multiagent systems can be naturally investigated as a multiobjective optimization too. [Resource-based reasoning [10, 12], called also anytime algorithms, trading off the quality of solutions for the amount of resources used, seems to be particularly well suited for the solution of hard computational problems in real time and under uncertainty. On the other hand, process algebras [11] are currently the most mature approach to concurrent and distributed systems, and seem to be the appropriate way to formalize multiagent systems. ]

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
