A cooperation and communication framework for distributed problem solving

A novel cooperative computation model, Cellula, is proposed, with particular attention given to group organisation and inter-/intragroup communication. This model is designed on two principles. First, it has a facility for abstraction of group behaviors, which makes it possible to cope with recursive problem decomposition. Second, it has a facility (based on blackboard communication) for inter-/intragroup communication necessary for the several types of group organization.>
