Integrating expectation handling into Jason
Although expectations play an important role in designing cognitive agents, agent expectations are not explicitly being handled in most common agent programming environments. There are techniques for monitoring fulfilment ...
Planning and matchmaking in a multi-agent system for software integration
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 ...
Neuro-fuzzy engineering for spatial information processing
This paper proposes neuro-fuzzy engineering as a novel approach to spatial data analysis and for building decision making systems based on spatial information processing, and the development of this approach by the authors ...
A connectionist computational architecture based on an optical thin-film model
A novel connectionist architecture that differs from conventional architectures based on the neuroanatomy of biological organisms is described. The proposed scheme is based on the model of multilayered optical thin-films, ...
Agent-based integration of web services with workflow management systems
Rapid changes in the business environment call for more flexible and adaptive workflow systems. Researchers have proposed that Workflow Management Systems (WfMSs) comprising multiple agents can provide these capabilities. ...
Integrating expectation monitoring into Jason: A case study using Second Life
Previous work on detecting fulfilments and violations of expectations (which may correspond to conventions, norms, commitments or contracts) assumed that information about the world is available as an abstract logical model ...
Interfacing a cognitive agent platform with Second Life
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
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 ...
Multi-agent system interaction protocols in a dynamically changing environment
An area where multi-agent systems can be put to effective use is for the case of an open collection of autonomous problem solvers in a dynamically changing environment. One example of such a situation is that of environmental ...
Tag based model for knowledge sharing in agent society
In this paper we discuss a tag-based model that facilitates knowledge sharing in the context of agents playing the knowledge sharing game. Sharing the knowledge incurs a cost for the sharing agent, and thus non-sharing is ...
