1 MEXICO - Modeling and Exploitation of Interaction and Concurrency

This paper discusses the security issues in data driven coordination languages. These languages rely on a data space shared by the agents and used to coordinate their activities. We extend these languages with a main distinguishing feature, which is the possibility to define fine-grained security conditions, associated with every datum in the shared space. Two main ideas makes it possible: the consideration of an abstraction of agents' states in the form of data at language level and the introduction of a richer interaction mechanism than state-of-the-art templates. This novel security mechanism allows both agents and system designers to prohibit undesirable interactions.
