There has, in recent years, been growing interest in Model Driven Engineering (MDE), in which models are the primary design artifacts and transformations are applied to these mode...
Autonomy is regarded as a crucial notion in multi-agent systems and several researchers have tried to identify what are the agent's parts that give it an autonomous character....
This paper presents the design and implementation of negotiation agents that negotiate with other entities for acquiring multiple resources. In our approach, agents utilize a time...
In a Multiple User Interfaces (MUI) context, several models must be defined and adapted (tasks, user, .). Abstract models are progressively enriched in concrete models using patte...
Real-Time (RT) systems exhibit specific characteristics that make them particularly sensitive to architectural decissions. Design patterns help integrating the desired timing behav...
