Abstract—We are interested in the problem of multiagent systems development for risk detecting and emergency response in an uncertain and partially perceived environment. The eva...
A consistency protocol can be termed symmetric if all processors are treated identically when they access common resources. By contrast, asymmetric protocols usually assign a home...
Abstract. If we are to enable agents to handle increasingly greater levels of complexity, it is necessary to equip them with mechanisms that support greater degrees of autonomy. Th...
As has been shown, the polygon time structure overcomes the main limitations of the interval time structure, and allows to verify communication protocols, in which the explicit co...
This paper develops a model for exceptions and an approach for incorporating them in commitment protocols among autonomous agents. Modeling and handling exceptions is critical for...
