“…A good overview of the topic with its many ramifications can be found in [21], and a recent update in [22]. Gamma computations consist in "chemical reactions" which consume elements of a multiset data structure, and produce new elements to the multiset.…”

“…These chemical execution models have been applied to diverse fields [21] such as image processing applications, operating systems, compilers, dynamic software reconfiguration [25], multi-agent systems [26] and distributed computing [27]. More recently, γ-calculus has been introduced as a formalism that extends the original Gamma model to a higher-order calculus.…”

“…Like the higher-order γ-calculus [22,28], Fraglets explicitly represent code and data in a unified way. The code itself is part of the multiset, a metaphor which is even closer to real chemical systems when compared to the original Gamma model [20,21]. Adopting this specific chemical model (with Fraglets as the only objects) has the benefit of being able to integrate code deployment into protocols in a natural way.…”

Abstract. The goal of this research is to create robust execution circuits for communication software which can distribute over a network and which continues to provide its service despite parts of the implementation being knocked out. Like packets that can be lost (which can be recovered by the appropriate protocols) we envisage an environment where parts of a protocol's execution can be lost. The remaining implementation elements should continue to operate and be able to recover by themselves for restoring full services again. Based on a chemical execution model, we show a few initial examples of packet processing functions that are robust against the knock-out of any single instruction. These examples illustrate how the model can be applied to implement resilient communication protocols, to which we add regulatory signals that can be used to steer the protocols' code basis.

“…In CASA, agents are software entities that pursue their objectives while taking into account the resources and skills available to them. We found that the dynamic nature of distributed agents in e-learning environments makes it an ideal object for modeling by Gamma languages [6][7][8][9]. The concurrency and automation of agents require that the modeling language does not have any sequential bias and global control structure.…”

Abstract. This paper presents an application of Chemical Reaction Metaphor (CRM) in agent-based distributed learning systems. The suitability of using CRM to model multi-agent systems is justified by CRM's capacity in catching dynamic features of multi-agent systems in an e-learning environment. A case study in course material updating demonstrates how the CRM based language, Gamma language, can be used to specify the architecture of the learning environment. Finally, a discussion on the implementation of Gamma language in a distributed system is given.

Abstract. The Neem Platform is a research test bed for Project Neem, concerned with the development of socially and culturally aware collaborative systems in a wide range of domains, through development of situated applications that target specific group cultures and alternative theories. The Neem Platform is a generic (application neutral) component-based framework that provides functionality that facilitates building such collaborative applications. Given the wide variety of target applications, the platform provides more than a closed set of behaviors -it is itself evolvable. Its functionality can be extended and adapted through facilities provided by a coordination mechanism that isolates computation from coordination concerns. Application development on top of this platform is facilitated by reuse of common functionality, as well as from embedded support for Wizard of Oz experiments. A novelty of Project Neem is its focus on the dynamic aspects that characterize group interaction under a Perceptual Interface paradigm. Participants' multimodal interactions such as voice exchanges, textual messages, widget operations and eventually gestures, eye gaze and facial expressions are reified and made available to applications, that apply situated reasoning, using this rich contextual information to dynamically adapt their behavior. The system presents itself multimodally as well, through a set of virtual participants -automated entities that are perceived by human participants as having personalities and emotions, making use of animation and voice generation.
