Abstract

The paper presents the GroupLog coordination language for collective agent-based systems. It is a logic language based on the notion of group, a cooperating entity whose definition is important to model cooperation in a flexible and well-structured manner and to hide low-level management of coordination activities. In the paper, an informal presentation of the GroupLog language and its use is illustrated through examples.
