We have been developing an approach for the distributed coordination of heterogeneous, autonomous agents. This approach takes as input (a) agent skeletons, giving compact descript...
A fundamental difficulty faced by groups of agents that work together is how to efficiently coordinate their efforts. This coordination problem is both ubiquitous and challenging,...
Abstract. As agents move into ever more important applications, there is a natural growth in interest in techniques for synthesizing multiagent systems. We describe an approach for...
Abstract. This paper presents a formal framework within which autonomous agents can dynamically select and apply different mechanisms to coordinate their interactions with one ano...

In the future, intelligent sensors will connected through networks, each node have its own autonomy, heterogeneity, and under dynamic environments. We call these systems as a Hete...
