In this paper we describe a channel-based exogenous coordination language, called Reo, and discuss its application to multi-agent systems. Reo supports a specific notion of compo...
Abstract. Starting from a general definition of how to model the organisation of multiagent systems with the aid of holonic structures, we discuss design parameters for such struc...
The Sage development method and associated tool set support an incremental, iterative, model-driven process to build and maintain high assurance, reactive multi-agent systems. A s...
Multiagent systems (MAS) satisfy to design requirements for open physical complex systems. However, up to now, no method allows to build software/hardware hybrid multiagent system...
Social commitments have long been recognized as an important concept for multiagent systems. We propose a rich formulation of social commitments that motivates an architecture for ...
