The successful use of intelligent agents in healthcare has attracted researchers to apply this
emerging software engineering paradigm in more advanced and complex applications …

Future AI applications require performance, reliability and privacy that the existing, cloud-
dependant system architectures cannot provide. In this article, we study orchestration in the …

Context: In this paper, we study distributed and decentralized systems in which each part is
modeled as an agent in a multi-agent system. Those systems provide more scalable and …

This paper presents a framework which can be used to analyze information systems as
knowledge flow facilitators in organizational processes. This framework may be useful …

The dominant social theory used by archaeologists has tended to focus on either small scale
agency or large-scale cultural patterns and processes of change. The authors of this volume …

The notion of trust has been traditionally investigated within many disciplines, ranging from
sociology to economy, as well as politics, psychology, and philosophy. More recently, it is …

The successful integration and acceptance of many multi-agent systems into daily lives
crucially depends on the ability to develop effective policies for adjustable autonomy …

Autonomous systems, often realized as multi-agent systems, are envisioned to deal with
uncertain and dynamic environments. They are applied in dangerous situations, eg as …

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are getting progressively sophisticated by
increasing their self-governance capabilities which allow them to deal with more and more …
