What distinguishes multiagent systems from other software systems is their emphasis on the interactions among autonomous, heterogeneous agents. This paper motivates and characteriz...
Recently, two advances in agent-oriented software engineering have had a significant impact: the identification of interaction and coordination as the central focus of multi-agent ...
From the point of view of an operating system, a computer is managed and optimized in terms of the application programming model and the management of system resources. For the TF...
The coordination-policy that components interactions satisfied often determines the properties of nowadays component-based information systems, e.g. Safety, Liveness and Fairness ...
Traditionally, top-down and bottom-up design approaches have competed with each other in Algorithmics and Software Engineering. In the top-down approach, design process starts wit...
