Coordination through Communication
نویسندگان
چکیده
Characteristic of the LAP approach is that communication is considered as a way of coordinating behavior. However, little has been said so far about how communication supports coordination, and how it relates to other coordination mechanisms. The objective of this paper is to clarify the relationship between coordination and communication. It contains an overview of the literature on coordination and describes how communication as it is conceived in LAP relates to the “standard” coordination and integration mechanisms. We conclude that this relation is becoming very tight in modern organizations and also indicate what this could mean for LAP.

متن کاملEvolutionary of Communication Rules for Coordination among Mobile Agents
Mobile Agent coordination is of extreme importance in applications which are both time and space bound. More so when coordination can occur only through communication among a group of agents which can act only based on local knowledge of their environment. In such a scenario, it is interesting to study the evolution of a communication hierarchy for a hierarchical multiagent coordination task su...
متن کاملDesigning Multi-Agent Systems around a Programmable Communication Abstraction
What is relevant for the effectiveness of a multi-agent system is the model of the interaction between agents, rather than their peculiar internal model. The design of a single agent architecture should then concentrate on agent observable behaviour and on its interface towards the outside. A multi-agent architecture should then be designed around the choice of a suitable coordination model, ac...
متن کاملCoordination for dynamic weighted task allocation in disaster environments with time, space and communication constraints
Coordination for dynamic task allocation based on available resources is a very challenging research issue in disaster environments with time, space and communication constraints. In addition, the space and communication constraints and the dynamic features of disaster environments make an extra difficulty to achieve efficient coordination through centralised coordination approaches, which requ...
