An approach to handle the complex dynamics of a multi-agent system is based on distinguishing aggregation levels by structuring the system into parts or components. The behavior of...
The workflow process is often executed in a dynamic environment. This dynamic is classified in several aspects. For this reason, several researches try to give workflow architectur...
Abstract— We present a formal framework for robotic cooperation in which we use an extension to Petri nets, known as workflow nets, to establish a protocol among mobile agents b...

Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) software products are increasingly used as software components in large-scale systems. We had proposed an approach for distributed COTS software int...
In open multi-agent systems (MASs) we cannot assume agents to be developed in a centralized fashion. Recent proposals of commitmentbased communication frameworks aim at increasing ...
