Concurrent constraint programming (ccp) is a model of concurrency for systems in which agents (also called processes) interact with one another by telling and asking information in...
— The problem of finding an optimal path in an uncertain graph arises in numerous applications, including network routing, path-planning for vehicles, and the control of finite...
Interconnected service providers constitute a highly dynamic, complex, distributed environment. Multi-agent system design-methodologies have been trying to address this kind of env...
In autonomous robotics, so-called artificial potential fields are often used to plan and control the motion of a physical robot. In this paper, we propose to use an artificial e...
