We present a software system for evaluating ‘dynamic’ protocol specifications for open multi-agent systems, that is, specifications that are developed at design-time but may...
Bi-lateral negotiations represent an important class of encounter in agent-based systems. To this end, this paper develops and evaluates a heuristic model that enables an agent to...
Abstract. In this paper, we show how the concepts of objects, components, features and agents are used today in the Agent Building Center (ABC) environment in order to marry the mo...
When developping multi-agent systems (MAS) or models in the context of agent-based simulation (ABS), the tuning of the model constitutes a crucial step of the design process. Inde...
High-bandwidth applications with time-dependent resource requirements demand certain resource level assurances in order to operate correctly. Quality of Service resource managemen...
