Coordinating agents in a complex environment is a hard problem, but it can become even harder when certain characteristics of the tasks, like the required number of agents, are un...
In open systems where the components, i.e. the agents and the resources, may be unknown at design time, or in dynamic and self-organizing systems evolving with time, there is a ne...
Coordination and access control are related issues in open distributed agent systems, being both concerned with governing interaction between agents and resources. In particular, w...

The coordination problem in multi-agent systems is the problem of managing dependencies between the activities of autonomous agents, in conditions of incomplete knowledge about th...
This paper presents XMARS, a programmable coordination architecture for Internet applications based on mobile agents. In XMARS, agents coordinate – both with each other and with...
