As computer networks (and computational grids) become increasingly complex, the problem of allocating resources within such networks, in a distributed fashion, will become more and more of a design and implementation concern. This is especially true where the allocation involves distributed collections of resources rather than just a single resource, where there are alternative patterns of resources with different levels of utility that can satisfy the desired allocation, and where this allocation process must be done in soft real-time. Distributed Sensor Networks is the...

This volume is the eighth in the Intelligent Agents series associated with the ATAL workshops. These workshops on "Agent Theories, Architectures, and L- guages" have established themselves as a tradition, and play the role of small but internationally well-known conferences on the subject, where besides theory per se also integration of theory and practice is in focus. Speci?cally, ATAL - dresses issues of theories of agency, software architectures for intelligent agents, methodologies and programming languages for realizing agents, and software tools for applying and evaluating agent-based...

This book is devoted to the development of efficient algorithms for enhancing security of Multiagent systems deployed in real world. In particular, we present here algorithms developed using the Decision/Game Theoretic frameworks. Our algorithms can be classified into two kinds: First, when the agent has no model of its adversaries, the key idea is to randomize the policy of the agent to minimize the information given out. To that end, we present policy randomization algorithms developed using the MDP/Dec-POMDP frameworks. Second, when the agent has partial model of its adversaries, we...

Distributed Sensor Networks is the first book of its kind to examine solutions to this problem using ideas taken from the field of multiagent systems. The field of multiagent systems has itself seen an exponential growth in the past decade, and has developed a variety of techniques for distributed resource allocation. Distributed Sensor Networks contains contributions from leading, international researchers describing a variety of approaches to this problem based on examples of implemented systems taken from a common distributed sensor network...
