Abstract. We introduce a visual notation for local specification of concurrent components based on message sequence charts (MSCs). Each component is a finite-state machine whose ...
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...
Service oriented computing, with its aim of unhindered interoperability, is an appropriate paradigm for ad hoc networks, which are characterized by physical mobility of heterogeno...

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...
The coordination-policy that components interactions satisfied often determines the properties of nowadays component-based information systems, e.g. Safety, Liveness and Fairness ...
