The objective of this paper is to examine the crucial area of co-ordination in multi-agent systems. It does not attempt to provide a comprehensive overview of the co-ordination literature; rather, it highlights the necessity for co-ordination in agent systems and overviews briefly various co-ordination techniques. It critiques these techniques and presents some conclusions and challenges drawn ...

Introduction The design of metal organic co-ordination polymeric materials have been deeply researched. In recent years, the studies of co-ordination polymers have made much progress. Such polymers are prepared by polymerization of bis ligand and metal ions. Most of the co-ordination polymers are reported based on bis-salicylic acid, bis-salicyaldehyde and bis-oxine.[16] One of the area in whic...
