A multidimensional review of the cash management problem.

In this paper, we summarize and analyze the relevant research on the cash management problem appearing in the literature. First, we identify the main dimensions of the cash management problem. Next, we review the most relevant contributions in this field and present a multidimensional analysis of these contributions, according to the dimensions of the problem.

Off-line synthesis of evolutionarily stable normative systems.

Within the area of multi-agent systems, normative systems are a widely used framework for the coordination of interdependent activities. A crucial problem associated with normative systems is that of synthesising norms that will effectively accomplish a coordination task and that the agents will comply with. Many works in the literature focus on the on-line synthesis of a single, (convention) whose compliance forms a rational choice for the agents and that effectively coordinates them in particular coordination situation that needs to be identified and modelled as a game in advance.
