The goal of this paper is to explore the effects of synchronization on distributed decision making processes. In particular, we examine the dynamics of a spatially distributed mul...
We present a performance analysis of an agent-based middleware system we have developed based on "reAgents," remotely executing agents that enhance the performance of cl...
A multi-agent system is a network of software agents that cooperate to solve problems. In open multi-agent systems, the agents that need resources provided by other agents are not ...
Abstract. In this paper, we describe a novel agent architecture for normative multiagent systems which is based on multi-context systems. It models the three modalities of Rao and ...
