Adversariality of the agents with respect to the multi-agent system can be a serious issue in the design of open multi-agent systems. Until now, many incoherent definitions of suc...
Abstract. We discuss some known and introduce some new reducibilities on regular sets. We establish some facts on the corresponding degree structures and relate some reducibilities...
The design and development of open multi-agent systems (MAS) is a key aspect in agent research. We advocate that they can be realised as electronic institutions. In this paper we ...
In an open system, multi-agent computations must compete for resources required for satisfying their goals. We describe CyberOrgs, a hierarchical model for acquisition and control...
Abstract. This paper presents the design of an implementation-independent, Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), which is the main basis of the ICENI Grid middleware. Three implemen...
