Abstract. In this paper we describe a framework for defining and operationalizing conceptual models of distributed knowledge-based systems which extends published approaches by the...
This paper presents “Self-Chord”, a bio-inspired P2P algorithm that can be profitably adopted to build the information service of distributed systems, in particular Computati...

Scheduling meetings among agents can be represented as a game - the Meetings Scheduling Game (MSG). In its simplest form, the two-person MSG is shown to have a price of anarchy (Po...
We explore the computational power of networks of small resource-limited mobile agents. We define two new models of computation based on pairwise interactions of finite-state ag...
Quality of Service (QoS) management becomes more and more important, especially in networks where many applications are competing for a limited number of resources. As these appli...
