FLUX is a declarative, CLP-based programming method for the design of agents that reason logically about their actions and sensor information in the presence of incomplete knowledg...
We present TCTLKD, a logic for knowledge, correctness and real time. TCTLKD is interpreted on real time deontic interpreted systems, and extension to continuous time of deontic int...
Middle-agents are used by end-agents to locate service providers in multi-agent systems. One central middle-agent represents a single point of failure and communication bottleneck ...
Though multiagent systems (MASs) are being increasingly used, few methods exist to ensure survivability of MASs. All existing methods suffer from two flaws. First, a centralized su...
In this paper, we present a dynamic logic for a propositional version of the agent programming language 3APL. A 3APL agent has beliefs and a plan. The execution of a plan changes a...

In this paper we extend the Revision Programming framework--a logic-based framework to express and maintain constraints on knowledge bases-with different forms of preferences. Pref...
Abstract. In recent years, within the planning literature there has been a departure from approaches computing total plans for given goals, in favour of approaches computing partia...

Abstract. Negotiation over resources and multi-agent planning are important issues in multi-agent systems research. It has been demonstrated [19] how symbolic negotiation and distr...
In this work, we extend the architecture of agents (and robots) based upon fixed, one-size-fits-all cycles of operation, by providing a framework of declarative specification of ag...
