Negotiation is a basic mechanism for interaction that allows the members in a Multiagent System to coordinate their actions and to reach a favorable agreement. When agents are collaborative, the negotiation process progr...

In a multi-agent system, a group of individ- uals interact in a social context in order to boost their capabilities and enhance global per- formance. Each individual's action repertoire may be reduced, but it's social ca...

Nowadays Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems became an important part of Internet, millions of users have been attracted to use their structures and services. The popularity of Peer-to-Peer systems speed up academic research join...

When IBM's John Backus first developed the Fortran programming language, back in 1957, he certainly never dreamt that it would become a world-wide success and still be going strong many years later. Given the oft-repeate...

Scientific collaboration are becoming interdisciplinary, and scientists are working in informal collaboration to solve complex problems that require multiple types of large resources. An option is a computational grid. A...

The Web has became an obiquitous resource for distributed computing making it relevant to investigate new ways of providing efficient access to services available at dedicated sites. Efficiency is an ever-increasing dema...

This work describes a novel way to select the best computer node out of a pool of available potentially heterogeneous computing nodes for the execution of computational tasks. This is a very basic and difficult problem o...

A loosely coupled distributed system is composed by nodes, usually heterogenous, connected by a network. These systems have enormous aggregate computing potential. However most of this potential is not realized unless th...
