In an open distributed system, computational resources are peer-owned, and distributed over time and space. The fact that these resources can dynamically join or leave the system (...
Network Control is currently carried out mainly by means of signalling protocols. Although these protocols are robust and facilitate standardisation, they present several drawback...
A novel style of multi-agent system specification and deployment is described, in which familiar methods from computational logic are re-interpreted to a new context. One view of ...
One large and quite interesting family of MAS applications is characterized (1) by their large scale in terms of number of agents and physical distribution, (2) by their very dynam...
Abstract. Coordination languages are often used to describe open ended systems. This makes it challenging to develop tools for guaranteeing security of the coordinated systems and ...
