Communication is essential in multi-agent systems, since it allows agents to share knowledge and to coordinate. However, in open multi-agent systems, autonomous and heterogeneous a...
Today’s autonomous and heterogeneous information systems have an increasing necessity of exchanging data. As widely known, middleware systems have been successfully adopted as i...
We consider a network of autonomous peers forming a logically global but physically distributed search engine, where every peer has its own local collection generated by independe...

This paper presents a thorough evaluation of grid map based sensor fusion algorithms for mapping the environment of a mobile robot. Three physical sensors were used for creating t...
State explosion is a fundamental problem in the analysis and synthesis of discrete event systems. Continuous Petri nets can be seen as a relaxation of discrete models. The expected...
