After reviewing the state of the art, the author introduces the general coordination model ECM and the corresponding object-oriented coordination language STL++. The practicability of ECM/STL++ is illustrated by the simulation of a particular collective robotics application and the automation of an e-commerce trading system. Situated at the intersection of behavior-based artificial intelligence and concurrent and distributed systems, this monograph is of relevance to the agent R&D community approaching agent technology from the distributed artificial intelligence point of view as well as for the distributed systems community.Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence ;2039Computer programmingSoftware engineeringComputer architectureArtificial intelligenceComputer networksProgramming Techniqueshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I14010Software Engineering/Programming and Operating Systemshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I14002Computer System Implementationhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I13057Artificial Intelligencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I21000Computer Communication Networkshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I13022Software Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I14029Computer programming.Software engineering.Computer architecture.Artificial intelligence.Computer networks.Programming Techniques.Software Engineering/Programming and Operating Systems.Computer System Implementation.Artificial Intelligence.Computer Communication Networks.Software Engineering.005.11Schumacher Michaelauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut545488BOOK9910145795503321Objective Coordination in Multi-Agent System Engineering1935917UNINA
