: Most automated reasoning tasks with practical applications can be automatically reformulated into a constraint solving task. A constraint programming platform can thus act as a u...
— Pervasive and ubiquitous computing is enabling the implementation of “smart environments”, i.e., environments where applications support and enhance the abilities of their ...
Abstract—We are developing a concurrent, agent-based approach to complex systems simulation as part of the CoSMoS project. In such simulations an agent’s behaviour can typicall...
In last years, trust and reputation has been gaining increasing interest in multi-agent systems (MAS). To address this issue, we propose in this paper a maintenance-based trust me...
