This contribution defines a metrics and proposes a solution for the problem of agents inaccessibility in multi-agent systems. We define the stand-in pattern for knowledge mainten...
In the paper we study the dynamics of roles played by agents in multiagent systems. We capture role dynamics in terms of four operation performed by agents: ‘enactment’, ‘dea...

Making a truly useful massively multi-agent system is difficult since the actions of the full ensemble of agents cannot be controlled by designing just one agent. It is critical ...
Abstract. Agent’s meta-reasoning is a computational process that implements agent’s capability to reason on a higher level about another agent or a community of agents. There i...
In most multiagent systems with communicating agents, the agents have the luxury of using reliable, multi-step negotiation protocols. They can do so primarily when communication i...
