This paper argues for an alternative way of designing coordination models for parallel and distributed environments based on a complete symmetry between and decoupling of producers...
A new class of models, formalisms and mechanisms has recently evolved for describing concurrent and distributed computations based on the concept of “coordination”. The purpos...
Real-time computations in multi-agent systems have been studied from different perspectives of reasoning, message passing, resource management and negotiations. Separate treatment...
Abstract. In the engineering domain, the development of complex products (e.g., cars) necessitates the coordination of thousands of (sub-)processes. One of the biggest challenges f...
