Communication is essential in multi-agent systems, since it allows agents to share knowledge and to coordinate. However, in open multi-agent systems, autonomous and heterogeneous a...
In an open system, multi-agent computations must compete for resources required for satisfying their goals. We describe CyberOrgs, a hierarchical model for acquisition and control...
A critical challenge to creating effective open multi-agent systems is allowing them to operate effectively in the face of potential failures. In this paper we present an experimen...
Abstract. Control for agents situated in multi-agent systems is a complex problem. This is particularly true in hard, open, dynamic environments where resource, privacy, bandwidth,...
Abstract. Starting from a general definition of how to model the organisation of multiagent systems with the aid of holonic structures, we discuss design parameters for such struc...
