Abstract: Despite the fact that social computation systems involve interaction mechanisms that closely resemble well-known models of agent coordination, current applications in this area make little or no use of the techniques the agent-based systems literature has to offer. In Continue reading
Abstract: Ridesharing, that is, the problem of finding parts of routes that can be shared by several travelers with different points of departure and destinations, is a complex, multiagent decision-making problem. The problem has been widely studied but only for Continue reading
Abstract: The recent media focus on Smart City services, particularly ride sharing, that provide ordinary users with the ability to advertise their resources has highlighted society’s need for transparent and accountable systems.

Abstract: We propose a novel approach for Ad-Hoc WiFi based distribution of information within large crowds of mobile users. The work is motivated by civil protection scenarios where infrastructure based communication often breaks down in cases of emergency. We follow Continue reading
Abstract: Collaborative localization is a special case for knowledge fusion where information is exchanged in order to attain improved global and local knowledge. We propose analytical as well as agent based simulation models for pedestrian dead reckoning (PDR) systems in Continue reading
