Programming swarm behaviors is a challenging task, due to the need to express collective
behaviors in terms of local interactions among simple agents. Even if several programming …

Traditional multi-agent planning addresses the coordination of multiple agents towards
common goals, by producing an integrated plan of actions for each of those agents. For …

In this paper, we investigate the relationship between multi-agent planning and self-
organisation through the combination of two representative approaches both enjoying …

Research and technology developments on autonomous agents and autonomic computing
promote a vision of artificial systems that are able to resiliently manage themselves and …

One of the key applications of physically-deployed multi-agent systems, such as mobile
robots, drones, or personal agents in human mobility scenarios, is to promote a pervasive …

One of the key coordination problems in physically-deployed distributed systems, such as
mobile robots, wireless sensor networks, and IoT systems in general, is to provide notions of …

A key coordination problems in distributed open systems is distributed sensing, as achieved
by cooperation and interaction among individual devices. An archetypal operation of …

Distributed data collection is a fundamental task in open systems. In such networks, data is
aggregated across a network to produce a single aggregated result at a source device …
