The design and development of Internet applications can take advantage of a paradigm based on autonomous and mobile agents. However, agent mobility introduces peculiar coordinatio...
We address the problem of failure diagnosis in discrete event systems with decentralized information. We propose a coordinated decentralized architecture consisting of local sites ...
We adopt the decision-theoretic principle of expected utility maximization as a paradigm for designing autonomous rational agents, and present a framework that uses this paradigm t...
This paper describes and evaluates three methods for coordinating multiple agents. These agents interact in two ways. First, they are able to work together to achieve a common poo...
