Distributed applications are often built from sets of distributed components that must be co-ordinated in order to achieve some global behaviour. The common approach is to use a c...
We explore the suitability of Intensional Programming Paradigm for providing a programming model for coordinated problem solving in a multi-agent systems. We extend our previous wo...
The aim of this paper is to promote the idea of developing reusable coordination patterns for parallel computing, i.e. customizable components from which parallel applications can ...
Abstract-- Current systems are very often based on largescale, unpredictable and unreliable infrastructures. However, users of these systems increasingly require services with time...
