Large, complex projects face significant barriers to coordination and communication due to continuous, rapid changes during a project's lifecycle. Such changes must be tracke...
Communication and coordination play an important role in achieving concurrency in the design of large complex artifacts. It is also widely accepted that design is constraint orien...
— This paper presents new results on the formal design of distributed coordinating agents in a discrete-event framework. In this framework, agents are modeled to be individually ...
Interacting agents that interleave planning and execution must reach consensus on their commitments to each other. In domains where agents have varying degrees of interaction and ...
Abstract. One key issue facing robotic teams is effective coordination mechanisms. Many robotic groups operate within domains where restrictions such as limiting areas of operation...
