A key focus of contemporary agent-oriented research and engineering is on open multiagent systems composed of truly autonomous, interacting agents. This poses new challenges, as en...
In order to obtain semantic interoperability in open MultiAgent Systems, agents need to agree on the basis of different ontologies. In this paper we formally define mapping as cor...
This paper addresses issues in developing open multiagent systems, in which it is easy to expand the functionality by adding new agents with new capabilities, and which facilitate ...
Abstract. For over a decade, agent research has shown that social commitments support the definition of open multiagent systems by capturing the responsibilities that agents contr...

In this paper, we argue that allowing self-interested agents to activate social institutions during run-time can improve the robustness (i.e., stability, cooperation or fairness) ...
Abstract. Agent Communication Languages (ACLs) play a fundamental role in open multiagent systems where message exchange is the main if not the only way for agents to coordinate th...
—In open multiagent systems, agents need to model their environments in order to identify trustworthy agents. Models of the environment should be accurate so that decisions about...
