This paper explores the complications encountered when attempting to create a secure pervasive computing environment. The model introduced in this paper is primarily conceptual. T...
Verification of multi-agent programs is a key problem in agent research and development. This paper focuses on multi-agent programs that consist of a finite set of BDI-based agent...
Protocols enable unambiguous, smooth interactions among agents. Commitments among agents are a powerful means of developing protocols. Commitments enable flexible execution of pro...
Abstract – Despite increasing deployment of agent technologies in several business and industry domains, user confidence in fully automated agent driven applications is noticeab...
Process calculi are mathematical tools used for modeling and analyzing the structure and behavior of reactive systems. One such calculus, called APi-calculus (an extension to Pi-ca...
