Abstract. Agent-oriented modelling of software systems and agent-based simulation are commonly viewed as two separate fields with different concepts and techniques. We show that th...
Multi-agent systems are prone to failures typical of any distributed system. Agents and resources may become unavailable due to machine crashes, communication breakdowns, process ...
Design notations play an important role in designing software. Agent UML (AUML), which extends the widelyused UML notation, has proposed a number of notations for modelling agent ...
Abstract. Distributed cooperative applications (e.g., e-commerce) are now increasingly being designed as a set of autonomous entities, named agents, which interact and coordinate (...
Real-time computations in multi-agent systems have been studied from different perspectives of reasoning, message passing, resource management and negotiations. Separate treatment...
