Commitment protocols formalize interactions among autonomous, heterogeneous agents, leaving the agents’ local policies unspecified. This paper studies the problem of agents ena...
Interactions between agents in an open system such as the Internet require a significant degree of flexibility. A crucial aspect of the development of such methods is the notion o...
The work we present here is mainly concerned with interagent communication, MAS communication protocols and, in particular, software tools and environments to define, experiment a...
We sketch how to express typical features of agent communication protocols in a simple temporal logic and show that conformance verification at runtime reduces to a generalised f...
The problem considered in the present article is optimal design of network topologies in multi-agent systems in order to make communication on the network as efficient as possible ...
