Design patterns have been recently concerned in the multi-agent community for the design of systems with decentralized coordination. In this paper we present a design pattern for d...
Abstract. A reference architecture integrates a set of architectural patterns that have proven their value for a family of applications. Such family of applications is characterize...
We describe a robot control architecture which combines a stimulus-response subsystem for rapid reaction, with a search-based planner for handling unanticipated situations. The ro...
To facilitate the rapid development and open system interoperability of autonomous agents we need to carefully specify and effectively implement various classes of agent behaviors...
