Abstract--Reinforcement learning (RL) research typically develops algorithms for helping an RL agent best achieve its goals-however they came to be defined--while ignoring the rela...
Stigmergy has been adopted in MAS (multi-agent systems) and in other fields as a technique for realising forms of emergent coordination in societies composed by a large amount of a...

We study the development of distributed agent environments as distributed event-based systems specified in the Ambient Event Calculus (AEC). The AEC is a logic-based formalism th...
Abstract. Commitments are a powerful abstraction for representing the interactions between agents. Commitments capture the content of the interactions declaratively and allow agent...
We present the verification of a protocol designed to ensure self-stabilization in a ring of processors. The proof is organized as a series of refinements; it is mechanized base...
