Transaction-Based Coordination of Software Agents
نویسنده
چکیده
Cooperative software agents provide a novel framework for building distributed applications. Central to the model is the support for sophisticated coordination and close cooperation among diierent agents working together towards accomplishing a speciied task. In this paper, we focus on expressing and enforcing correctness properties of the coordination and interaction among agents. We build on transaction concepts from database systems to formalize the proposed correctness properties and introduce methods for enforcing them in the context of mobile object systems.
