Dialogue Proto ols for Multi-Agent Systems

Modeling Lateral Communication in Holonic Multi Agent Systems

Agents, in a multi agent system, communicate with each other through the process of exchanging messages which is called dialogue. Multi agent organization is generally used to optimize agents’ communications. Holonic organization demonstrates a self-similar recursive and hierarchical structure in which each holon may include some other holons. In a holonic system, lateral communication occurs b...

Adaptive Task and Resource Allocation in Multi-Agent Systems

ABSTRACT In this paper, we present an adaptive organizational poli y for multi-agent systems alled tra e. tra e allows a olle tion of multi-agent organizations to dynami ally allo ate tasks and resour es between themselves in order to eÆ iently pro ess an in oming stream of task requests. tra e is intended to ope with environments in whi h tasks have time onstraints, and environments that are s...

Modularity in Interaction Protocols

ABSTRACT Proto ols or part of proto ols are frequently reused through proje ts if they are suÆ iently generi . For instan e, the Contra t Net proto ol an be used verbatim or in other proto ols su h as the supply hain management. This reusability might be diÆ ult to do due to the la k of reusability in urrent intera tion proto ol formalisms. In this paper, we present a new approa h based on a mo...
