We outline elements of the Abstract Contract Calculator, a prototype language implemented in Haskell (a declarative programming language) in which we simulate agents executing abst...
We present a proof-technique for reducing the nondeterminbstract agent specifications in a BDI framework by means of refinement. We implement the operational semantics of agent sp...
Multi-agent systems are now being considered a promising architectural approach for building Internet-based applications. One of the most critical and important aspects of softwar...
Web services (WS) provide a technology for integrating applications over the Internet. This paper proposes a multi-agent conceptual model of WS and an agent-oriented modelling and...
