While software is becoming decomposed in more and more finegrained entities, the interactions amongst those become of major importance. While methodologies for building such compon...
The design and development of Internet applications can take advantage of a paradigm based on autonomous and mobile agents. However, agent mobility introduces peculiar coordinatio...
This paper presents a survey on multi-agent platforms, with a particular focus on methodology. It presents the four stages of the construction of a multi-agent system and derives f...
Abstract. Software engineering describes a system at different levels of abstraction. Agent-oriented software engineering introduces a new level, called the agent level, to allow t...
We present a first approach that combines the mobile agent and the compositional paradigms into a new agent-based compositional model. The aim of this work is to explore the capabi...
This paper focuses on the challenge of building technical agents that act flexibly in modern computing and information environments. Flexibility is approached in terms of both cogn...
In the near future, billions of entities will be connected to each other through the Internet. The current trend is that an increasingly number of entities, from smart personal dev...
