Abstract. Enabling coordination among ubiquitous computing applicad resources requires programming abstractions and development tools tailored to this unique environment. This pape...
In this paper we present a coordination model for component-based software systems based on the notion of mobile channels, define it in terms of a compositional trace-based semanti...

Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) provides a rich framework for modeling multi-agent coordination problems. Existing problem domains for DCOP focus on small (<100 vari...
Large systems of agents deployed in a real-world environment face threats to their problem solving performance that are independent of the complexity of the problem or the charact...
