Abstract. Engineering non-trivial open multi-agent systems is a challenging task. Our research focusses on situated multi-agent systems, i.e. systems in which agents are explicitly...
Abstract. This paper presents an agent-oriented modelling language and environment CAMLE. It is based on the conceptual model of multi-agent systems (MAS) proposed and formally def...
The development of Multi-Agent Systems (MASs) involves special concerns, such as interaction, adaptation, autonomy, among others. Many of these concerns are overlapping, crosscut e...
The increased pervasiveness of mobile devices like cell phones, PDAs, and laptops draws attention to the need for coordination among these networked devices. The very nature of the...
Agent architectures have to cope with a number of internal properties (concerns), such as autonomy, learning, and mobility. As the agent complexity increases, these agent propertie...
The need of developing a new software engineering process (SEP) that could allow the quick prototyping of some robotic applications and meet the requests coming from some companie...
Software systems of today are characterized by the increasing size, complexity, distribution and heterogeneity. Understanding and supporting the interaction between software requi...
If agents are to negotiate automatically with one another they must share a negotiation mechanism, specifying what possible actions each party can take at any given time, when nego...
