Teams of mobile robots often need to divide up subtasks efficiently. In spatial domains, a key criterion for doing so may depend on distances between robots and the subtasks’ locations. This paper considers a specific such criterion, namely how to assign interchangeable robots, represented as point masses, to a set of target goal locations within an open two dimensional space such that the make...

For more practical uses of multi-agent systems, the security on agents’ interactions is essential to allow only authorized interactions in multi-agent systems. In this paper, we propose a fine-grained Dynamic Role Interaction Access Control (DRiBAC) model to support exclusive authorization for an actual partnering agent of an interaction and dynamic control on the assignment of roles and permis...
