— This paper presents new results on the formal design of distributed coordinating agents in a discrete-event framework. In this framework, agents are modeled to be individually ...
The problem investigated in this paper is the distribution of goals addressed to a group of rational agents. Those agents are characterized by their ability (i.e. what they can do...
This paper explains the building of robust software using multiagent reputation. One of the major goals of software engineering is to achieve robust software. Our hypothesis is th...
