Product Distribution (PD) theory was recently developed as a framework for analyzing and optimizing distributed systems. In this paper we demonstrate its use for adaptive distribu...
We address the topic of specifying multi-agent systems using the situation and state calculus (SSC). SSC has been proposed as an extension of the situation calculus to overcome so...
Software systems of today are characterized by the increasing size, complexity, distribution and heterogeneity. Understanding and supporting the interaction between software requir...
This chapter tackles the relation between declarative languages and multi-agent systems by following the dictates of the five Ws (and one H) that characterize investigations. The ...
Fault tolerance is an important property of large-scale multiagent systems as the failure rate grows with both the number of the hosts and deployed agents, and the duration of com...
