A spatial computer is a distributed multi-agent system that is embedded in a geometric space. A key challenge is engineering local agent interaction rules that enable spatial comp...
Emergence is a widespread notion in complex systems, artificial life and multi-agent systems. In this paper, we try to clarify a specific emergence feature suggested by John Holl...
The agentTool III (aT3 ) development environment is built on the Eclipse platform and provides traditional model creation tools to support the analysis, design, and implementation...
This paper surveys the current state of the art in agentoriented software engineering, focusing on the area of coordinated multi-agent systems. In multi-agent systems, the interac...
Organisational structures for multi-agent systems are usually defined independently of any spatial and temporal structure. Therefore, when the multi-agent system is situated in a ...
