A new class of models, formalisms and mechanisms has recently evolved for describing concurrent and distributed computations based on the concept of “coordination”. The purpos...
Human interaction occurs always in a specific context and in a particular environment, and a common knowledge base about them is essential for understanding each other. By immersi...
In this paper we introduce a workflow management system, called WebFlow, which is based on the world wide web and Java as its basic technologies. Java is used as the build time (m...
Scalable coordination is a key challenge in deployment of multiagent systems. Resource usage is one part of agent behavior which naturally lends itself to abstraction. CyberOrgs i...
— This paper presents new results on the formal design of distributed coordinating agents in a discrete-event framework. In this framework, agents are modeled to be individually ...
