Dynamic Execution of Coordination Protocols in Open and Distributed Multi-Agent Systems

摘要

Coordination protocols are widely recognized as an efficient mechanism to support agent interaction involved in modern Multi-Agent System (MAS) applications. This paper proposes a solution for dynamic execution of coordination protocols in such open and distributed MAS applications. More precisely, this paper shows how agents can dynamically take part in conversations, where the role they are intended to hold within a protocol is played without the need of prior knowledge.
