Supporting Life Cycle Coordination in Open Agent Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coordination mechanisms need the proper support if they are to function within large-scale, heterogeneous multi-agent systems. This paper presents a life cycle model for mobile agents in which a number of different states and transitions are defined. An agent’s state can be used to provide coordination mechanisms with useful status information, enabling these mechanisms to deal with realistic situations, in which agents are not always directly available, and the agent population possibly consists of many different types of agents.

متن کاملSupporting Coordination in Open Computational Systems with TuCSoN
Coordination is a primary issue in the context of open computational systems. Accordingly, in this work, after providing a brief overview of the main issues and challenges concerning the modelling and engineering of these systems, we focus on coordination and discuss the adoption of TuCSoN agent coordination infrastructure for its specification and enactment in the context of open computational
متن کاملVoltage Coordination of FACTS Devices in Power Systems Using RL-Based Multi-Agent Systems
This paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. In this study, some FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. Each device here is modeled as ...

Inter-Organizational Workflow (IOW) aims at supporting the collaboration between several autonomous and heterogeneous business processes, distributed over different enterprises or organizations. Coordination of these processes is a fundamental issue that has been mainly addressed in a static context, but it still remains open in a dynamic one such as the Internet in which IOW applications are m...
متن کاملSocially-aware lightweight coordination infrastructures
Coordination infrastructures have played a central role in the engineering of multi-agent systems (MAS). Although MAS research has produced a number of notable coordination infrastructures of varying features, these have been mainly conceived to host software agents and to facilitate multi-agent programming. Thus, human agents have been mostly kept out of the picture, hence hindering the use of...
