Abstract. One of the main challenges for the successful application of agentbased systems in mobile and embedded devices is enabling application developers to reconcile the needs o...
As building large-scale software systems is complex, several software engineering paradigms have been devised. Agent oriented paradigm is one of the most predominant contributions...
The mobile agent approach has become popular due to recent developments in the mobile code paradigm and enabling programming technologies. Many existing agentbased systems lack cl...
We study the development of distributed agent environments as distributed event-based systems specified in the Ambient Event Calculus (AEC). The AEC is a logic-based formalism th...
Conceptual complexity is emerging as a new bottleneck as data-base developers, application developers, and database administrators struggle to design and comprehend large, complex...
