Abstract. Agent-based computing is a promising approach for developing applications in complex domains. However, despite the great deal of research in the area, a number of challen...
In this paper we propose a multi-agent system modeling language (MAS-ML) that extends UML (Unified Modeling Language) based on structural and dynamic properties presented in a conc...
Abstract. Electronic commerce has been one of the traditional arenas for agent technology. The complexity of these applications has been a challenge for researchers that have devel...
A fundamental difficulty faced by groups of agents that work together is how to efficiently coordinate their efforts. This coordination problem is both ubiquitous and challenging,...
In this paper we overview one specific approach to the formal development of multi-agent systems. This approach is based on the use of temporal logics to represent both the behavio...
This paper presents and evaluates a decision making framework that enables autonomous agents to dynamically select the mechanism they employ in order to coordinate their inter-rela...
Multi-agent teamwork is critical in a large number of agent applications, including training, education, virtual enterprises and collective robotics. The complex interactions of ag...
