Agent systems are highly distributed and feature widespread coordination and collaboration. Because of these characteristics, a traditional object oriented approach to software de...
Mobile active computational entities introduce peculiar problems in the coordination of distributed application components. The paper surveys several coordination models for mobil...
Self-organizing multi-agent systems (MAS) use different mechanisms to mimic the adaptation exhibited by complex systems situated in unpredictable and dynamic environments. These m...
Abstract--Role assignment is an important task in RoleBased Collaboration (RBC). Agent evaluation is the first step of role assignment. The other two steps are group role assignmen...
—We present an intelligent agent crawler designed to collect user-generated content in Second Life and related virtual worlds. The agents navigate autonomously through the world ...
