Diagrammatic methodologies for the representation of agent interaction protocols can be classified as joint representations that describe an interaction in terms of a single sequential process, or agent-centred representations that provide a distinct description of the interaction protocol for each agent (or role) in the interaction. Here we discuss the process of deriving agent centred representations from joint representations and vice versa, using a variant of UML statecharts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
