Abstract. Software agent technology has attracted much attention for developing various distributed systems, composed of autonomous agents interacting with one another using partic...
A strength of commitment protocols is that they enable agents to act flexibly, thereby enabling them to accommodate varying local policies and respond to exceptions. A consequent ...
Brokers are used in many multi-agent systems for locating agents, for routing and sharing information, for managing the system, and for legal purposes, as independent third partie...

This paper develops a model for exceptions and an approach for incorporating them in commitment protocols among autonomous agents. Modeling and handling exceptions is critical for...
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...
