In this paper, we examine the composition of firstclass protocols for multi-agent systems. First-class protocols are protocols that exist as executable specifications that agent...
Many practitioners view agent interaction protocols as rigid specifications that are defined a priori, and hard-code their agents with a set of protocols known at design time -- a...
Abstract. Current approaches to multi-agent interaction involve specifying protocols as sets of possible interactions, and hard-coding decision mechanisms into agent programs in or...
The ubiquity of our increasingly distributed and complex computing environments have necessitated the development of programming approaches and paradigms that can automatically man...
This paper addresses the dynamic service selection and composition issues for the satisfaction of user requirements. We propose an approach in which agents perform service composi...
