Cooperative multi-agent systems are ones in which several agents attempt, through their interaction, to jointly solve tasks or to maximize utility. Due to the interactions among t...
Given a specification of communication rules in a multiagent system (in the form of protocols, ACL semantics, etc.), the question of how to design appropriate agents that can oper...
The study focuses on a class of discrete-time multi-agent systems modelling opinion dynamics with decaying confidence. Essentially, we propose an agreement protocol that impose a p...
The ever increasing size of networks has resulted in a corresponding escalation of administration costs and lengthy deployment cycles. Clearly, more scalable and flexible network...
We present FRAC, a Framework for Role-based Access Control in network file systems. FRAC is a reference monitor that controls the message flow between file system clients and s...
