Subjective and Objective coordination can be inte- grated and exploited fruitfully in the same context. In this paper we investigate such integration in the context of FIPA agents, aim- ing at exploiting the coordination services provided by TuCSoN coordination infrastructure. to put the two things altogether was made by Schumacher: in (24), the notions of subjective and objective coordination were introduced, and used to classify the research on coordination. In the context of MAS, subjective and objective coordination were defined as coordination inside and outside the agents, re- spectively - thus accounting for the psychological vs. norma- tive acceptations of coordination recalled above. A step beyond was then the recognition that any non-trivial multi-component system cannot but rely on the fruitful exploitation of both ap- proaches. Along this line, in (22) Activity Theory was proposed as a unitary and coherent conceptual framework for both co- ordination approaches, whereas (19) advocated that both play a fundamental role in the engineering of MAS, and that any methodology for the design and development of MAS should necessarily exploit both objective and subjective coordination models and technologies. |
