We propose and evaluate a novel framework for enforcing global coordination and control policies over interacting software components in enterprise computing environments. This fra...
There is a need for agent systems that can scale to realworld applications, yet retain the clean semantic underpinning of more formal agent frameworks. We describe the SRI Procedu...
