In an open distributed system, computational resources are peer-owned, and distributed over time and space. The fact that these resources can dynamically join or leave the system (...
This paper presents a formal framework and outlines a method that autonomous agents can use to negotiate the semantics of their communication language at run-time. Such an ability...

Open distributed systems are typically composed by an unknown number of processes running in heterogeneous hosts. Their communication often requires tolerance to temporary disconn...

In Open Multi-Agent Systems (OMAS), deciding with whom to interact is a particularly difficult task for an agent, as repeated interactions with the same agents are scarce, and rep...
We present a method for transforming the infinite interactive state space of interactive POMDPs (I-POMDPs) into a finite one, thereby enabling the computation of exact solutions. ...
