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 ...
Verifying social expectations by model checking truncated paths

Cranefield, Stephen; Winikoff, Michael (University of Otago, 2010)
One approach to moderating the expected behaviour of agents in open societies is the use of explicit languages for defining norms, conditional commitments and/or social expectations, together with infrastructure supporting ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
