Abstract. This paper is part of a long term research program on multiagent systems (MASs), based on the proposition that the interactions among the members of a large and heterogen...

Abstract. A reference architecture integrates a set of architectural patterns that have proven their value for a family of applications. Such family of applications is characterize...
Indirect interactions have been shown to be of interest in MultiAgent Systems (MAS), in the simulation area as well as in real apns. The environment is also emerging as a first-ord...
Stigmergy has been adopted in MAS (multi-agent systems) and in other fields as a technique for realising forms of emergent coordination in societies composed by a large amount of a...

Abstract. In previous works we have presented a model to describe and simulate environment for situated multi-agent systems, that we called ELMS. Here, we present an extensions to ...
One large and quite interesting family of MAS applications is characterized (1) by their large scale in terms of number of agents and physical distribution, (2) by their very dynam...
Traffic control can be regarded as a multiagent application in which car-agents and traffic-light-agents need to coordinate with each other to optimize the traffic flow and to avoi...
Abstract. The AGRE model proposed by Ferber et al. is based on an interesting generalization of both physical and social environments. In this paper we revisit the AGRE model and e...
Abstract. Today, the concept of an environment for multi-agent systems is in its pioneering phase. Consequently, the development of supporting software technologies is still rather...
Environment is an essential part of any multi-agent system (MAS), since it provides the surrounding conditions for agents to exist. For some sort of systems, the environment can be...
