Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is twofold: (i) to illustrate and re-emphasize the use of CONCURRENT METATEM, a programming language based on executable temporal logic, as a viable framework in which to develop Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) applications; and (ii) to present a specific example of a cooperative protocol, give an outline of its implementation in CONCURRENT METATEM, and show how properties of the protocol can be established through formal proof. 1
