In this paper we present a swarm grammar system that makes use of bio-inspired mechanisms of reproduction, communication and construction in order to build three-dimensional struc...
This paper provides a design rationale for a mechanism that enforces a correct mapping between a model of a nested agent organization and a model of a composite interaction-based ...
An ad hoc or sensor network that is employed for security sensitive applications is expected to tolerate a certain quantity of maliciously behaving nodes. Algorithms must be desig...
Among features often attributed to software agents are autonomy and mobility. Autonomy of e-commerce agents involves adaptability to engage in negotiations governed by mechanisms ...
In this paper, we present an experimental evaluation of three color-spatial retrieval techniques -- the signaturebased technique, the partition-based algorithm and the cluster-bas...
