Agents in the Multilayered Multi Agent Situated System (MMASS) model can perform at-a-distance distance communication by field diffusion over the structure of the environment that...
Abstract—This paper illustrates how the functionalities of monitoring/control systems, within an agent–based framework, can be improved by the adoption of Knowledge–Based tec...
— In this paper we study the rational balance between local and global policies in virtual communities of agents. To study this problem we use a logical framework for modelling o...
