Abstract

We address the problem of constructing multiagent systems by coordinating heterogeneous, autonomous agents, whose internal designs may not be fully known. A major application area is Web service composition. We develop an approach that (a) takes declarative specifications of the desired interactions, and (b) automatically enacts them. Our approach is based on temporal logic, has a rigorous semantics, and yields a naturally distributed execution.
