Description for The Space and Motion of Communicating Agents
hardcover. Robin Milner presents a unified structural theory for modelling networks of agents that is destined to have far-reaching significance. Num Pages: 214 pages, 50 exercises. BIC Classification: TJK; UYA. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 228 x 152 x 15. Weight in Grams: 44.
The world is increasingly populated with interactive agents distributed in space, real or abstract. These agents can be artificial, as in computing systems that manage and monitor traffic or health; or they can be natural, e.g. communicating humans, or biological cells. It is important to be able to model networks of agents in order to understand and optimise their behaviour. Robin Milner describes in this book just such a model, by presenting a unified and rigorous structural theory, based on bigraphs, for systems of interacting agents. This theory is a bridge between the existing theories of concurrent processes and the ... Read more
