We explore the computational power of networks of small resource-limited mobile agents. We define two new models of computation based on pairwise interactions of finite-state ag...
Classical notations for service collaborations focus either on the control flow of participating services (interacting models) or the order in which messages are exchanged (intera...
Current IT application domains such as web services and autonomic computing call for highly flexible systems, able to automatically adapt to changing operational environments as w...

We consider the model of population protocols introduced by Angluin et al. [AAD+ 04], in which anonymous finite-state agents stably compute a predicate of the multiset of their in...

Coordination and access control are related issues in open distributed agent systems, being both concerned with governing interaction between agents and resources. In particular, w...
