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 ...
Connectionist-based information systems: a proposed research theme

Kasabov, Nikola; Purvis, Martin; Sallis, Philip (University of Otago, 1996)
General Characteristics of the Theme • Emerging technology with rapidly growing practical applications • Nationally and internationally recognised leadership of the University of Otago • Already established organisation ...
Generating ontology-specific content languages

Cranefield, Stephen; Purvis, Martin (University of Otago, 2001)
This paper examines a recent trend amongst software agent application and platform developers to desire the ability to send domain-specific objects within inter-agent messages. If this feature is to be supported without ...
The Styx agent methodology

Bush, Geoff; Cranefield, Stephen; Purvis, Martin (University of Otago, 2001)
Agent-oriented software engineering is a promising new approach to software engineering that uses the notion of an agent as the primary entity of abstraction. The development of methodologies for agent-oriented software ...
Software cinema

Bruegge, Bernd; Purvis, Martin; Creighton, Oliver; Sandor, Christian (University of Otago, 2003)
The process for requirements elicitation has traditionally been based on textual descriptions or graphical models using UML. While these may have worked for the design of desktop-based systems, we argue, that these notations ...
Extracting data from Second Life

Ranathunga, Surangika; Cranefield, Stephen; Purvis, Martin
Second Life is a multi-purpose online virtual world that is increasingly being used for applications and simulations in diversified areas such as education, training, entertainment, and even for applications related to ...
Interfacing a cognitive agent platform with Second Life

Ranathunga, Surangika; Cranefield, Stephen; Purvis, Martin (University of Otago, 2011)
Second Life is a multi-purpose online virtual world that provides a rich platform for remote human interaction. It is increasingly being used as a simulation platform to model complex human interactions in diverse areas, ...
How do norms emerge in multi-agent societies? Mechanisms design

Savarimuthu, Bastin Tony Roy; Cranefield, Stephen; Purvis, Martin; Purvis, Maryam A. (University of Otago, 2007)
Norms are shared expectations of behaviours that exist in human societies. Norms help societies by increasing the predictability of individual behaviours and by improving co-operation and collaboration among members. Norms ...
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 ...
A membership function selection method for fuzzy neural networks

Zhou, Qing Qing; Purvis, Martin; Kasabov, Nikola (University of Otago, 1997)
Fuzzy neural networks provide for the extraction of fuzzy rules from artificial neural network architectures. In this paper we describe a general method, based on statistical analysis of the training data, for the selection ...
