A multiagent goal transformation is defined as a directed alteration of goals by the agents in a multiagent system in order to adjust for lack of resources and/or lack of capabili...

In many task-planning domains, dynamic assemblies of autonomous agents are replacing hierarchical organisations because they promise more agility. In such assemblies, interdepende...
There is little or no guidance to systematically design a self-organising emergent solution that achieves the desired macroscopic behaviour. This paper describes decentralised coor...
Following the scenario-based approach to programming which centered around live sequence charts (LSCs), we propose a general approach to software development in Java. A program wil...
Large systems of agents deployed in a real-world environment face threats to their problem solving performance that are independent of the complexity of the problem or the charact...
Abstract. We introduce the notion of coordination mechanisms to improve the performance in systems with independent selfish and noncolluding agents. The quality of a coordination ...

— In this paper we address tasks for multirobot teams that require solving a distributed multi-agent planning problem in which the actions of robots are tightly coupled. The unce...
In the application layer of networks, many application servers are middleboxes in the paths of messages from source to destination. Applications require, as a basic coordination me...
Research on organization of Multi-Agent Systems (M.A.S.) has shown that by adapting its organization, a M.A.S. is better able to operate in dynamic environments. In this paper we ...
