We are investigating how to provide intelligent, pervasive support of group of people within so-called “smart environments”. Our current main assumption, based on literature in...
Peer-to-peer systems offer an efficient means for sharing data among autonomous nodes. A central issue is locating the nodes with data matching a user query. A decentralized solut...
It is generally accepted that the environment is an essential compound of multiagent systems (MASs). Yet the environment is typically assigned limited responsibilities, or even neg...

Abstract. Adaptive consistency is a solving algorithm for constraint networks. Its basic step is variable elimination: it takes a network as input, and producesan equivalent networ...
We present an extension of a mathematical framework proposed by the authors to deal with the composition of heterogeneous reactive systems. Our extended framework encompasses dive...
