ÐIn this paper, we investigate the k-set consensus problem in asynchronous distributed systems. In this problem, each participating process begins the protocol with an input value...

In mobile ad hoc networks, synchronous communication mechanisms appear to be not suitable, since these assume that the involved entities are present at the same time during the in...
Negotiation is a fundamental mechanism in distributed multi-agent systems. Since negotiation is a time-spending process, in many scenarios agents have to take into account the pas...
A new class of applications can now be envisaged with the emergence of both mobile ad hoc computing and ubiquitous computing. Applications of such kind are characterised by being ...

In this paper, we propose a new formalism, named the Timed Communicating Finite State Machine (Timed CFSM), for specifying and verifying time-critical systems. Timed CFSM preserve...
