This paper presents a multiagent-system for integrating ALICE: a real-life, distributed, large-scale particle physics experiment of the LHC project at CERN. The work is concerned ...
Auctions are useful mechanism for allocating items (goods, tasks, resources, etc.) in multiagent systems. The bulk of auction theory assumes that the bidders’ valuations for ite...
Self-organization is built upon two main building blocks: adaptive and uncoupled interaction mechanisms and context-awareness. Here we show how the middleware TOTA (Tuples On The ...
This paper unifies two recent strands of research in multiagent system design. One, commitments are widely recognized as capturing important aspects of interactions among agents,...
This paper addresses the problem of protecting the data carried by mobile agents from the possible attacks of malicious execution hosts. Specifically, we consider protection mecha...
