We present a protocol for the distributed detection of garbage in a distributed system subject to common failures such as lost and duplicated messages, network partition, dismount...
Emergence is a key element in the research of multi-agent systems. Emergent properties provide higher level features to a system formed of simpler individuals. So far, emergence ha...
Multi-agent systems exploiting case based reasoning techniques have to deal with the problem of retrieving episodes that are themselves distributed across a set of agents. From a ...
All but the most briefly used systems must evolve as their mission and roles change over time. Evolution in the context of large distributed systems is extraordinarily complex bec...
