This paper addresses an important question in the development of multi-agent systems—how can we create robust systems out of the often unreliable agents and infrastructures we ca...
A critical challenge to creating effective agent-based systems is allowing them to operate effectively when the operating environment is complex, dynamic, and error-prone. In this...
Mobile agent systems have many attractive features including asynchrony, openness, dynamicity and anonymity, which makes them indispensable in designing complex modern application...
Asynchronous Active Objects (AAOs), primarily exemplied by actors [1], nowadays exist in many forms (various kinds of actors, agents and components) and are more and more used beca...
This paper presents the design of user-level scheduling hierarchies in the Composite component-based system. The motivation for this is centered around the design of a system that...
