Reactive multi-agent systems present global behaviours uneasily linked to their local dynamics. When it comes to controlling such a system, usual analytical tools are difficult to ...
We consider a resource access control scenario in an open multi-agent system. We specify a mutable set of rules to determine how resource allocation is decided, and minimally assum...
Abstract. Cooperative, autonomous and distributed properties of multiagent systems deduce the dynamic capabilities of multi-agent system applications. On the other hand, these suit...

Abstract. How to ensure that two different implementations of a simulation will produce the same results ? In order to assure simulation reproducibility, some domain-independent fu...
Abstract. Electronic markets, dispute resolution and negotiation protocols are three types of application domain that can be viewed as open agent systems. Members of such systems a...
Modern software systems share with social organizations the attributes of being large-scale, distributed, and heterogeneous systems of systems. The organizational metaphor for soft...

The IODA methodology allows automated construction of models from an ontology, consisting of generic interactions that we can assign to families of agents. Thanks to the measuremen...
The concept of cyclical influence between individuals and society is widely accepted, but hard to understand in all details. This paper proposes the use of three processes of socia...
Complexity of today's systems prevents designers from knowing everything about them and makes engineering them a difficult task for which classical engineering approaches are ...
