Environment-Based Coordination Through Coordination Artifacts
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the context of human organisations, environment plays a fundamental role for supporting cooperative work and, more generally, complex coordination activities. Support is realised through services, tools, artifacts shared and exploited by the collectivity of individuals for achieving individual as well as

Coordination Artifacts: A Unifying Abstraction for Engineering Environment-Mediated Coordination in MAS
Similarly to human organizations, where the environment plays a fundamental role in supporting social activities, the environment of a multi-agent system (MAS) is the natural place where understanding and designing agent coordination. Accordingly, we propose the notion of coordination artifact as a unifying abstraction for engineering environment-based coordination of agents. This is meant to c...
متن کاملScalable MAS-Based Control Systems Using QoS-Adaptive Coordination Artifacts
Coordination Artifacts are first-class software entities that encapsulate an abstract communication pattern either among Agents or between an Agent and its environment. By separating Coordination Artifacts from Agents in a Multi-Agent System (MAS), both implementations are simplified: Coordination Artifacts become an ideal means for dealing with systemic issues, while the remaining Agent code c...
متن کاملCognitive Stigmergy: A Framework Based on Agents and Artifacts
Stigmergy has been variously adopted in MASs (multi-agent systems) and in other fields as well—as a technique for realising forms of emergent coordination in societies composed by a large amount of typically simple, ant-like, non-rational agents. In this article we introduce a conceptual and engineering framework for exploring the use of stigmergy in the context of societies composed by cogniti...
متن کاملLinkable Coordination Artifacts for Inter-Organisational Workflow
Inter-organisational workflow (IOW) is a natural scenario for MAS (multiagent system) technologies. In particular, MAS coordination infrastructures can work as a general-purpose support for WfMSs (workflow management systems): coordination artifacts can be specialised as workflow engines, encapsulating workflow rules expressed in terms of coordination laws. A network of inter-connected coordina...
متن کاملتأثیر بازی‌های حسی-حرکتی در محیط مجازی بر هماهنگی چشم و دست کودکان مبتلا به فلج مغزی همی پلژی
Background and Objective: Virtual reality is a computerized technology with virtual environment and objects, which people manipulate virtual environment voluntarily through active participation. Aim of the present study was to determine the effect of sensorimotor play in virtual environment on eye-hand coordination of children with hemiplegic cerebral palsy. Materials and Methods: In this singl...
