Abstract. The design of reactive systems must comply with logical correctness (the system does what it is supposed to do) and timeliness (the system has to satisfy a set of tempora...
To achieve the multi-agent systems’ goals, agents interact to exchange information, to cooperate and to coordinate their tasks. Interaction is generally recognized as an importa...
In Multi-agent based simulation (MABS) systems, computational models are built as multi-agent systems (MAS). Replication of these models can contribute to improve the reliability o...
The event calculus is a logic programming formalism for representing events and their effects especially in database applications. This paper presents the use of the event calculus...
Interaction protocols are specific, often standard, constraints on the behaviors of autonomous agents in a multiagent system. Protocols are essential to the functioning of open sys...
