Coordination languages were introduced in the early 80's as programming notations to manage the interaction among concurrent collaborating software entities. Process algebras...
This article considers the coordination language Reo, a Petri net variant called zero-safe nets, and intuitionistic temporal linear logic (ITLL). The first part examines the seman...
We adopt the decision-theoretic principle of expected utility maximization as a paradigm for designing autonomous rational agents, and present a framework that uses this paradigm t...
The concept of stigmergy provides a simple framework for interaction and coordination in multi-agent systems. However, determining the global system behavior that will arise from ...
Abstract. In Distributed Problem-solving (DPS) systems a group of purposefully designed computational agents interact and co-ordinate their activities so as to jointly achieve a gl...
