Layered architectures are a proven principle for the design of software systems and components. The paper introduces a layered reference architecture for software agents which assi...
Many real-world tasks can be decomposed into pipelines of sequential operations (where subtasks may themselves be composed of one or more pipelines). JGram is a framework enabling...

There is an increasingly large demand for software systems which are able to operate effectively in dynamic environments. In such environments, automated software engineering is e...
Holonic and agent-based paradigms are very suitable in the development of distributed manufacturing control systems, taking advantage of their modularity, decentralization, and abi...
The agent metaphor has shown its usefulness for modelling as well as implementing complex and dynamic applications. Although a number of agent applications has been successfully re...
