The distributed data storage on unreliable devices, connected by a short-range radio network is analyzed. Failing devices incur loss of data. To prevent the loss, the data is spli...

Social insects such as ants and bees perform complex tasks with pheromone communication despite lack of top-down style control. We have examined applications of this pheromone par...
Pheromone-based multiagent interaction has received a growing attention in the past few years. Still, so far, the number of deployed systems exploiting pheromones for coordinating...
This paper develops a model for exceptions and an approach for incorporating them in commitment protocols among autonomous agents. Modeling and handling exceptions is critical for...
We describe OWL-P (OWL for Processes and Protocols), a methodology and software tool for specifying and enacting interaction protocols among autonomous agents. We use the Web Onto...
