Planning and matchmaking in a multi-agent system for software integration

Diaz, Aurora; Cranefield, Stephen; Purvis, Martin (University of Otago, 1997)
Computer users employ a collection of software tools to support their day-to-day work. Often the software environment is dynamic with new tools being added as they become available and removed as they become obsolete or ...
The NZDIS project: An agent-based distributed information systems architecture

Purvis, Martin; Cranefield, Stephen; Bush, Geoff; Carter, Dan; McKinlay, Bryce; Nowostawski, Mariusz; Ward, Roy (University of Otago, 1999)
This paper describes an architecture for building distributed information systems from existing information resources, based on distributed object and software agent technologies. This architecture is being developed as ...
UML as an ontology modelling language

Cranefield, Stephen; Purvis, Martin (University of Otago, 1999)
Current tools and techniques for ontology development are based on the traditions of AI knowledge representation research. This research has led to popular formalisms such as KIF and KL-ONE style languages. However, these ...
A distributed architecture for environmental information systems

Purvis, Martin; Cranefield, Stephen; Nowostawski, Mariusz (University of Otago, 1999)
The increasing availability and variety of large environmental data sets is opening new opportunities for data mining and useful cross-referencing of disparate environmental data sets distributed over a network. In order ...
Agent modelling with Petri nets

Purvis, Martin; Cranefield, Stephen (University of Otago, 1996)
The use of intelligent software agents is a modelling paradigm that is gaining increasing attention in the applications of distributed systems. This paper identifies essential characteristics of agents and shows how they ...
An agent-based architecture for software tool coordination

Cranefield, Stephen; Purvis, Martin (University of Otago, 1996)
This paper presents a practical multi-agent architecture for assisting users to coordinate the use of both special and general purpose software tools for performing tasks in a given problem domain. The architecture is open ...
Causal agent modelling: a unifying paradigm for systems and organisations

Purvis, Martin; Cranefield, Stephen (University of Otago, 1995)
With the increasing size, complexity and interconnectedness of systems and organisations, there is a growing need for high level modelling approaches that span the range of application domains. Causal agent modelling offers ...
HTN planning for information processing tasks

Cranefield, Stephen (University of Otago, 1999)
This paper discusses the problem of integrated planning and execution for tasks that involve the consumption, production and alteration of relational information. Unlike information retrieval problems, the information ...
Planning and matchmaking for the interoperation of information processing agents

Cranefield, Stephen; Diaz, Aurora; Purvis, Martin (University of Otago, 1997)
In today's open, distributed environments, there is an increasing need for systems to assist the interoperation of tools and information resources. This paper describes a multi-agent system, DALEKS, that supports such ...
Communicating agents: an emerging approach for distributed heterogeneous systems

Cranefield, Stephen; Gorman, Paul; Purvis, Martin (University of Otago, 1995)
The concept of an intelligent software agent has emerged from its origins in artificial intelligence laboratories to become an important basis for the development of distributed systems in the mainstream computer science ...
