In this paper, we present a software framework, called HDS (Heterogeneous Distributed System), that tries to simplify the realization of distributed applications and, in particular...
In open multi-agent systems (MASs) we cannot assume agents to be developed in a centralized fashion. Recent proposals of commitmentbased communication frameworks aim at increasing ...
Observation is becoming a crucial issue in the engineering of today's systems: the common practice for dealing with their complexity is to encapsulate their subcomponents abs...
Abstract. Understanding and supporting the interaction between software requirements and architectures remains one of the challenging problems in software engineering research. To ...
