Abstract

This paper presents an instrumentation of a constructionist bottom-up approach to coordination in multiagent systems. Coordination scenarios of autonomous agents are modelled and formalised as a contraint optimisation problem. A distributed asynchronous algorithm is presented that computes potential outcomes of coordination in these scenarios. Finally, it is shown how this algorithm can be integrated into an operational coordination mechanism for a real-world domain.
