Abstract. In order to construct and deploy massively multiagent systems, we must address one of the fundamental issues of distributed systems, the possibility of partial failures. ...
The field of multi-agent systems is an active area of research. One of the possible applications of a multi-agent system is the use of distributed techniques for problem solving. ...
This contribution presents a knowledge-based model of the agents’ mutual awareness (social knowledge) and justifies its role in various classes of applications of the concept of...
We identify different levels of conformance to a protocol (weak, exhaustive, and robust conformance) and show how conformance may be either checked a priori or enforced at runtim...
