Abstract: . Agents are software components that support the construction of distributed information systems as collections of autonomousentities that interact according to complex and dynamic patterns of behavior. A major problem of multiagent structured information systems is the coordination of these interactions and behaviors to achieve the goals of the participants and coherence of the system as a whole. This paper articulates a precise conceptual model of coordination based ona representation of... (Update)

.... primitives to enable an active cooperation between the agents, proved to exceed our needs: for instance, the Agent Building Shell [10]. In fact, in our system, the agents offer fixed services, and there is no need to dynamically distribute tasks among them. It should be...

...not support the development of open systems interacting with middle agents. Thus, popular coordination models, such as ABS [Barbuceanu and Teigen, 1999] , exceed the demands of our application example, because they are focused on a more complex issue, i.e. describing the...
