Coordination Artifacts: Environment-Based Coordination for Intelligent Agents
International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, 2004 Direct interaction and explicit communication are not always the best approaches for achieving coherent systemic behaviour in the context of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). This is evident when taking into account recent approaches dealing with environment-based coordination such as stigmergy and, more generally, mediated interaction.

The dynamic selection of coordination mechanisms
, 2004 This paper presents and evaluates a decision making framework that enables autonomous agents to dynamically select the mechanism they employ in order to coordinate their inter-related activities. Adopting this framework means coordination mechanisms move

Exploiting the Environment for Coordinating Agent Intentions [PDF]
, 2007 One large and quite interesting family of MAS applications is characterized (1) by their large scale in terms of number of agents and physical distribution, (2) by their very dynamic nature and (3) by their complex functional and non-functional requirements. This family includes a.o.
