In open multi-agent systems, agents are mobile and may leave or enter the system. This dynamicity results in two closely related agent communication problems, namely, efficient message passing and service agent discovery. This paper describes how these problems are addressed in the Actor Architecture (AA). Agents in AA obey the operational semantics of actors, and the architecture is designed t...

In this literature review we discuss asynchronous multi agent motion planning. We first introduce fundamental ideas related to asynchronous multi agent motion planning such as asynchronous computation, multi agent systems and motion planning. We then discuss related work in asynchronous systems and motion planning of multi agent systems. We then discuss the application of asynchronous multi age...
