Cooperation without communication

TL;DR: A multi-agent system (MAS) as discussed by the authors is a distributed computing system with autonomous interacting intelligent agents that coordinate their actions so as to achieve its goal(s) jointly or competitively.

TL;DR: A critical survey of existing works in cooperative robotics is given and open problems in this field are discussed, emphasizing the various theoretical issues that arise in the study of cooperative robotics.

TL;DR: This comprehensive collection of articles shows the breadth and depth of DAI research as well as to practical problems in artificial intelligence, distributed computing systems, and human-computer interaction.

TL;DR: A critical survey of existing works in collective robotics is given and open problems in this field are discussed, emphasizing the various theoretical issues that arise in the study of cooperative robotics.

Abstract: This book challenges, with several powerful arguments, some of our deepest beliefs about rationality, morality, and personal identity. The author claims that we have a false view of our own nature; that it is often rational to act against our own best interests; that most of us have moral views that are directly self-defeating; and that, when we consider future generations the conclusions will often be disturbing. He concludes that moral non-religious moral philosophy is a young subject, with a promising but unpredictable future.

TL;DR: This paper point out deficiencies in current semantic treatments of knowledge and belief and suggest a new analysis in the form of a logic that avoids these shortcomings and is also more viable computationally.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a theory of action in which these problems are taken into account, showing how to formalize both the knowledge prerequisites of action and the effects of action on knowledge.
