This paper suggests an evolutionary approach to design coordination strategies, a key issue in distributed intelligent systems. We focus on competitive strategies in the form of f...
Functional modeling is in use for the interpretation of the results of model based simulation of engineered systems for design analysis, enabling the automatic generation of a tex...
Objects are collected into an object base because of a presumed need for cooperation among them. In classical object bases the cooperation is based on synchronous, preplanned mess...
There is a growing belief that the agents' cognitive structures play a central role on the enhancement of predicative capacities of decision-making strategies. This paper anal...
An approach is suggested for arguing that a system is dependable. The key idea is to structure the system so that critical requirements are localized in small, reliable subsets of ...
