The IODA methodology allows automated construction of models from an ontology, consisting of generic interactions that we can assign to families of agents. Thanks to the measuremen...
Observation is becoming a crucial issue in the engineering of today's systems: the common practice for dealing with their complexity is to encapsulate their subcomponents abs...
In this paper we introduce a model for direct communication in situated multi-agent systems. Direct communication is typically associated with cognitive agents, where the informat...
