Many important and useful applications for software agents require multiple agents on a network that communicate with each other. Such agents must find each other and perform a u...
We take the position that autonomous agents, when they interact with people, should be governed by the same principles that underlie human collaboration. These principles come fro...
Abstract. PA (Process algebra) is the name that has become common use to denote the algebra with a sequential and parallel operator (without communication), plus recursion. PA-proc...
Abstract. High Performance Fortran (hpf) is a data-parallel Fortran for Distributed Memory Multiprocessors. Hpf provides an interesting programming model but compilers are yet to c...
This paper presents a parallel algorithm for recursive query processing and shows how it can be efficiently implemented in a local computer network. The algorithm relies on an int...
