a growing need to study abstract problems in distributed multi-agent systems in a systematic way, as well as to provide a qualitative mathematical framework in which to compare po...
Communication in open heterogeneous multi agent systems is hampered by lack of shared ontologies. To overcome these problems, we propose a layered communication protocol which inc...
