Situated Multi-Agents Systems (MAS), and other Agentbased systems, are often complex. Formal reasoning is needed to ensuring their correctness and structuring their development. E...
This paper proposes an operational semantics for BDI modules that can be incorporated in multi-agent programming languages. The introduced concept of modules facilitates the implem...
Commitments model important aspects of agent interactions, especially those arising in e-business. A small number of patterns of commitments accommodate a variety of realistic int...
Design and implementation of distributed algorithms often involve many subtleties due to their complex structure, non-determinism, and low atomicity as well as occurrence of unanti...
