Multi-agent systems can be viewed as object-oriented systems in which their entities show an autonomous behavior. If objects could acquire such skill in a flexible way, agents coul...
—More and more current software systems rely on non trivial coordination logic for combining autonomous services typically running on different platforms and often owned by diffe...
The growing importance of context-awareness in the construction of adaptable systems requires the development of formal models and notations that can bring this new dimension from ...
— This paper presents new results on the formal design of distributed coordinating agents in a discrete-event framework. In this framework, agents are modeled to be individually ...
Software coordination and adaptation is intimately related to software (modular) pieces and access points. These pieces (components or services) may be complex, dissimilar (various...
