Meta-Level Control of Coordination Protocols

چکیده

This paper proposes a meta-level control mechanism of coordination protocols in a multi-agent system. In an open environment, an agent needs to respond to unexpected situations (exceptions). By introducing a meta-level control mechanism in the coordination protocol execution, an agent can have flexible control over the coordination with other agents. As a mete-level control mechanism, methods to detect and handle exceptions are presented. For example, the proposed mechanism allows an agent to dynamically switch a coordination protocol for use when an exception occurs. In this paper, AgenTalk, a coordination protocol description language, is extended to include primitives for the meta-levcl control. In this extension, the meta-level control is described using the same mechanism for describing an agent’s behavior in a coordination protocol.

Energy efficiency and error resilience in coordinated and non-coordinated medium access control protocols

Energy efficiency of a MAC protocol is one of the most important performance metrics, especially in mobile ad hoc networks, where the energy sources are limited. Two key factors in achieving energy efficiency for a MAC protocol are coordination among the nodes and schedule-based channel access. In order to achieve a sufficient level of coordination among the nodes, and hence to achieve energy e...

The Use of Meta-Level Control for Coordination in a Distributed Problem Solving Network

Distributed problem-solving networks provide an interesting application area for meta-level control through the use of organizational structuring. We describe a decentralized approach to network coordination that relies on each node making sophisticated local decisions that balance its own perceptions of appropriate problem-solving activity with activities deemed important by other nodes. Each ...

Meta workflows as a control and coordination mechanism for exception handling in workflow systems

A higher level control and coordination mechanism is required for exception handling in workflow systems. This paper describes such a framework based on events, states, and a new kind of process called a meta workflow. Meta workflows have five kinds of meta activities and facilitate control over base workflows. We describe the framework and illustrate it with examples to show its features. The ...
