One goal of modern computer science is to engineer computer programs that can act as autonomous, rational agents; software that can independently make good decisions about what actions to perform on our behalf and execute those actions. Applications range from small programs tha…
"As computers advance from isolated workstations to linked elements in complex communities of systems and people, cooperation and coordination via intelligent agents become increasingly important. Examples of such communities include the Internet, electronic commerce, health ins…
In this thesis decision-making problems are formalized using a stochastic discrete-time model called decentralized partially observable Markov decision process (Dec-POMDP).
