In this article we focus on the notion of artifact for agents in multi-agent systems (MAS) as a
basis for a new meta-model promoting the modelling and engineering of agent societies and …

The self-improving system integration (SISSY) initiative has emerged in recent years in
response to a systems engineering trend towards the organisation of open, interconnected …

This paper describes CArtA gO, a framework for develo** artifact-based working
environments for multiagent systems (MAS). The framework is based on the notion of artifact …

Stigmergy has been adopted in MAS (multi-agent systems) and in other fields as a
technique for realising forms of emergent coordination in societies composed by a large …

In human society, almost any cooperative working context accounts for different kinds of
object, tool, artifacts in general, that humans adopt, share and intelligently exploit so as to …

The Internet of Things (IoT) allows the sharing of information among devices in a network.
Hardware evolutions have enabled the employment of cognitive agents on top of such …

Coordination models and languages have found a new course in the context of MAS
(multiagent systems). By re-interpreting results in terms of agent-oriented abstractions, new …

In human society, almost any cooperative working context accounts for different kinds of
object, tool, artifact in general, that humans adopt, share and intelligently exploit so as to …

Research on Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) has led to the development of several models,
languages, and technologies for programming not only agents, but also their interaction, the …

A system is context-aware if it can extract, interpret and use context information and adapt its
functionality to the current context of use. Multi-agent planning generalizes the problem of …
