Abstract:SUMMARYA multiagent system (MAS) has recently gained public attention as a technique to solve competition and cooperation in distributed systems.

This paper proposes a general composition technique to improve its reliability easily applied to the existent MAS. The proposed system monitors messages between agents to detect undesirable behaviors (failures). Collecting related information, the system … Show more
