As size and complexity of software systems increase, preserving the design and specification of their implementation structure gains importance in order to maintain the evolvabil...
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. If we are to enable agents to handle increasingly greater levels of complexity, it is necessary to equip them with mechanisms that support greater degrees of autonomy. Th...
