A method of detecting feature interaction conflicts between agents in response
to events in a multi-agent system comprises posting said events as tuples and event
requests as anti-tuples from said agents in said multi-agent system, receiving
said events and said event requests in a tuple space, generating responses to each
of said agents for said events which match said event requests of said agents,
wherein feature interaction conflict is detected when more than one of said agents
are to exert control over an event.
