The Environment: An Essential Abstraction for Managing Complexity in MAS-Based Manufacturing Control
[chapter]
2006
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
Based on recent insights, we now acknowledge the environment to be an essential abstraction in MAS, allowing to a large extent managing a lot of the complexity. ...
In this paper, we aim to explicitly model the different aspects of the environment that are relevant in our MAS for manufacturing control, thus supporting the case for environments as first-class abstractions ...

The Governing Environment
[chapter]
2006
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
A promising way of doing this is to view the environment as a rule-based infrastructure that defines reactions to events. ...
For that, two complementary viewpoints can be distinguished: subjective coordination manages intra-agent aspects while objective coordination essentially deals with inter-agent aspects. ...
Acknowledgments This paper reports on work that has been partially supported by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science (MEC) under grant TIC2003-08763-C02-02. ...

Environment as a first class abstraction in multiagent systems
2006
Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems
implies that the environment is an essential part of every multiagent system, and (2) the environment provides an exploitable design abstraction for building multiagent system applications. ...
We discuss the responsibilities of such an environment in multiagent systems and we present a reference model for the environment that can serve as a basis for environment engineering. ...
Acknowledgements We would like to express our appreciation to the attendees of the workshops on Environments for Multiagent Systems in New York 2004 and Utrecht 2005, and the AgentLink III Technical Forum ...
