Given a specification of communication rules in a multiagent system (in the form of protocols, ACL semantics, etc.), the question of how to design appropriate agents that can oper...
Abstract. Today’s software platforms that support the construction of agent systems in accordance with the FIPA specifications essentially provide enabling infrastructure servic...
We explore join optimizations in the presence of both timebased constraints (sliding windows) and value-based constraints (punctuations). We present the first join solution named...
Models and conceptualizations are necessary to understand and design ubiquitous systems that are context–aware not just from a technological point of view. The current technologi...
