The development of software systems is a complex task that requires support techniques to guide the process and solve inconsistencies in its . In the agent paradigm, the use of soc...
Many approaches of the agent paradigm emphasize the social and intentional features of their systems, what are called social properties. The study of these aspects demands their ow...
We propose and study extensions of logic programming with constraints represented as generalized atoms of the form C(X), where X is a finite set of atoms and C is act constraint (...
In this paper, we propose a Quantified Distributed Constraint Optimization problem (QDCOP) that extends the framework of Distributed Constraint Optimization problems (DCOPs). DCOP...
Coordination within decentralized agent groups frequently requires reaching global consensus, but typical hierarchical approaches to reaching such decisions can be complex, slow, ...
