Modelling synchronisation of a coordination system

International Journal of Wireless and Mobile Computing (IJWMC), Vol. 4, No. 3, 2010

Abstract: This paper develops a general, theoretical computational model for discussing synchronisation and specification schemes. We analyse the domains of relationships between agents in a coordination system. Possible conflicts in the agent specification are first detected and eliminated. The mechanism constructs partial order relations among actions. A temporal algebra is proposed to deal with qualitative and quantitative temporal relationships. The mechanism is efficient to handle synchronisation specifications to generate synchronisation scenarios, and to satisfy agent request.
