—Creation of cooperative robot teams for complex tasks requires not only agents that can function well individually but also agents that can coordinate their actions. This paper ...
From a multiagent viewpoint, a workflow is a dynamic set of tasks performed by a set of agents to reach a shared goal. We show herein that commitments among agents can be used to ...
A key challenge for the successful deployment of systems consisting of multiple autonomous networked sensors is the development of decentralised mechanisms to coordinate the activ...
