Abstract:
This special issue of the Journal of Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent 
Systems sought research articles on the emerging topic of multiagent 
interaction without prior coordination. Topics of interest included 
empirical and theoretical investigations of issues arising from 
assumptions of prior coordination, as well as solutions in the form of 
novel models and algorithms for effective multiagent interaction without 
prior coordination.

The following articles appear in this special issue:

Pablo Hernandez-Leal, Yusen Zhan, Matthew E. Taylor, L. Enrique Sucar, 
Enrique Munoz de Cote
/Efficiently detecting switches against non-stationary opponents/
