Abstract. In order to construct and deploy massively multiagent systems, we must address one of the fundamental issues of distributed systems, the possibility of partial failures. ...
Negotiation is an important mechanism of coordination in multiagent systems. Contrary to early conceptualizations of negotiating agents, we believe that decisions regarding the neg...
In this paper we address the challenges associated with the verification of correctness of communication between agents in MultiAgent Systems. Our approach applies model-checking ...
Methodologies for multiagent system development should assist the developer in making decisions about those aspects of the analysis, design and implementation, that are crucial fo...

In the paper we study the dynamics of roles played by agents in multiagent systems. We capture role dynamics in terms of four operation performed by agents: ‘enactment’, ‘dea...

Multiagent systems is an attractive problem solving approach that is becoming ever more feasible and popular in today’s world. It combines artificial intelligence (AI) and distr...
In this paper, we examine the Multiagent Systems Engineering (MaSE) methodology and its applicability to developing organization-based multiagent systems, which are especially rele...
The nature of computer networks and the manner in which network services are provided are changing dramatically. Network architectures that employ virtual mobile agents to provide...

a growing need to study abstract problems in distributed multi-agent systems in a systematic way, as well as to provide a qualitative mathematical framework in which to compare po...
We present here Extended Markov Tracking (EMT), a computationally tractable method for the online estimation of Markovian system dynamics, along with experimental support for its ...
