While there are many useful models of agents and multi-agent systems, they are typically defined in an informal way and applied in an ad-hoc fashion. Consequently, multi-agent sys...

Multi-agent systems are a kind of concurrent distributed systems. In this work, some guidelines on how to create multi-agent systems using Erlang are presented. The modelled syste...

Abstract. This paper introduces a novel framework for designing multiagent systems, called “Distributed Agent Evolution with Dynamic Adaptation to Local Unexpected Scenarios” (...

In a multi-agent system, the organization determines the architecture of the whole system, and the way and policies for agent collaboration and interactions. Although this is a key...
In this paper we investigate the emergence of communication in competitive multi-agent systems. A competitive environment is created with two teams of agents competing in an explo...

Smart spaces are open complex computing systems, consisting of a large variety of cooperative smart things. Central to building smart spaces is the support for sophisticated coordi...
Adversariality of the agents with respect to the multi-agent system can be a serious issue in the design of open multi-agent systems. Until now, many incoherent definitions of suc...
We present TECTLK, a logic to specify knowledge and real time in multi-agent systems. We show that the model checking problem is decidable, and we present an algorithm for TECTLK ...
