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...
The coordination of interdependencies between tasks in collaborative environments is a very important and difficult endeavor. The separation between tasks and interdependencies al...
Abstract. Physical agents such as robots are generally constrained in their communication capabilities. In a multi-agent system composed of physical agents, these constraints have ...
A current trend in the web services community is to define coordination mechanisms to execute collaborative tasks involving multiple organizations. Following this tendency, this w...
Abstract. This paper presents Relations Graph – GR a methodology to automate the generation of coordination mechanisms in computational environments. GR explores encapsulation an...
Abstract. Task-based planning problems for multi-agent systems require multiple agents to find a joint plan for a constrained set of tasks. Typically, each agent receives a subset...

Role coordination is an important aspect of task performance in teams. This phenomenon has received little attention in global virtual teams (GVT) with their coordination hurdles....
Wireless Sensor and Actor Networks (WSANs) constitute an emerging and pervasive technology that is attracting increased interest for a wide range of applications. WSANs have two m...
In the Architecture Engineering and Construction sector (AEC) cooperation between actors is essential for project success. The configuration of actors’ organization takes differe...
