As the complexity and application scope of agent-based systems increases, the requirements placed on Agent Communication Languages have also increased with it. Currently-available...
As the field of agent-based systems continues to expand rapidly, one of the most significant problems lies in being able to compare and evaluate the relative benefits and disad...
One of the key problems of recent years has been the divide between theoretical work in agent-based systems and its practical complement which have, to a large extent, developed a...
In this paper, we describe the Architecture Description Language (ADL) that we are defining for the design of agentbased systems. This aims at filing the gap between the analysis ...
To develop agent-based systems, one needs a methodology that supports the development process as common in other disciplines. In recent years, several such methodologies and model...
Continued research into distributed agent-based systems and evolving web based technologies are opening up tremendous possibilities for the deployment of large scale and highly ex...
Bi-lateral negotiations represent an important class of encounter in agent-based systems. To this end, this paper develops and evaluates a heuristic model that enables an agent to...
Roles seem to be a suitable concept for the development of agent-based systems. We have compared different approaches based on roles for agent development. This paper illustrates ...
This paper introduces a reference architecture for developing agent-based systems that preserves core concepts of agenthood while minimizing cumbersome features found in other age...
Software comprehension (understanding software structure and behavior) is essential for developing, maintaining, and improving software. This is particularly true of agent-based s...
