The agent-oriented modeling process is divided in a typical sequence of activities, i.e., requirements specification, analysis, and design. The requirements are specified by des...
We take the position that large-scale distributed systems are better understood, at all levels, when locality is taken into account. When communication and mobility are clearly se...
We document our initial e orts to instantiate visuallyguided cooperative behaviors between robotic agents in the minifactory environment. Minifactory incorporates high-precision 2...

We analyze a class of mechanisms that locomote by switching between constraints. Because of the hybrid nature of such systems, most of the existing analysis tools, developed prima...
Replication is a well-know fault-tolerance technique, and several replication strategies exist (e.g. active, passive, and semi-active replication). To be used in hard real-time sy...
