Article
The Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC) sector is a highly fragmented, data intensive, project based industry, involving a number of very different professions and organisations. Projects carried ou...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Service discovery and matchmaking in a distributed environment has been an active research issue since at least the mid 1990s. Previous work on matchmaking has typically presented the problem and service descr...
Chapter and Conference Paper
As a greater number of software developers make their source code available, there is a need to store such open-source applications in a library and facilitate searching over this digital library. To achieve t...

Chapter and Conference Paper
As computer and computational scientists have to manage access to increasingly complex computing and data resources, this becomes a time consuming task. This is especially true for Computational Grids, which c...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Problem Solving Environments (PSEs) provide a collection of tools for composition of scientific applications. Such environments are often based on graphical interfaces that enable components to be combined, an...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The use of a service-based approach in Grid computing will lead to such services becoming valuable economic commodities. Current economics models on the Internet are concerned with the creation, sale and purch...
Chapter
Mobile agents provide an important paradigm for supporting dynamic services in Computational Grids. We outline reasons why mobile agents are useful and how they can provide support for resource discovery and p...
Chapter and Conference Paper
A self-organising system functions without central control, and through contextual local interactions. Components achieve a simple task individually, but a complex collective behaviour emerges from their mutua...

International Workshop on Infrastructure for Scalable Multi-Agent Systems Barcelona, Spain, June 3–7, 2000 Revised Papers
Chapter and Conference Paper
A modelling approach based on the Soft Systems Methodology (SSM) is proposed as a first stage in develo** agent based systems. The SSMapproach enables a better conceptualisation of the system being developed...
Chapter and Conference Paper
The growing number of computers accessible through a network, such as the Internet, has meant that these computers can be collectively employed to solve complex problems. Since the networks that connect such m...
Chapter and Conference Paper
An overview of research and development challenges for managing data in Grid environments is provided. We relate issues in data management at various levels of abstraction, from resources storing data sets, to...
Chapter and Conference Paper
Various toolkits have been developed in the research community for constructing multi-agent systems. These toolkits differ in the types of programming languages they support, particular agent services they can...
