This paper investigates the computational complexity of a fundamental problem in multi-agent systems: given an environment together with a specification of some task, can we const...
We describe a semantic data validation tool that is capable of observing incoming real-time sensor data and performing reasoning against a set of rules specific to the scientific d...
This paper describes the development of a distributed multi-agent workflow enacting mechanism starting from a BPEL4WS[BPE03] specification. Our work demonstrates that a multi-agent...
Background: Bioinformatic analyses typically proceed as chains of data-processing tasks. A pipeline, or ‘workflow’, is a well-defined protocol, with a specific structure defin...
Abstract. We identify a network of sequential processes that communicate by synchronizing frequently on common actions. More precisely, we demand that there is a bound k such that ...
