Evaluating and Informing the Design of Chatbots
TL;DR: A study with 16 first-time chatbot users interacting with eight chatbots over multiple sessions on the Facebook Messenger platform revealed that users preferred chatbots that provided either a 'human-like' natural language conversation ability, or an engaging experience that exploited the benefits of the familiar turn-based messaging interface.
Journal ArticleDOI
An Agent-Based Approach to Virtual Power Plants of Wind Power Generators and Electric Vehicles
Matteo Vasirani,Ramachandra Kota,Renato L. G. Cavalcante,Sascha Ossowski,Nicholas R. Jennings +4 more
TL;DR: This paper considers VPPs as coalitions of wind generators and electric vehicles, where wind generators seek to use electric vehicles (EVs) as a storage medium to overcome the vagaries of generation.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Cooperatives of distributed energy resources for efficient virtual power plants
TL;DR: This work designs cooperatives (or "cooperative VPPs"---CVPPs) of rational autonomous DER-agents representing small-to-medium size renewable electricity producers, which coalesce to profitably sell their energy to the electricity grid.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decentralized approaches for self-adaptation in agent organizations
TL;DR: This work demonstrates a robust, decentralized approach for structural adaptation in explicitly modeled problem solving agent organizations based on self-organization principles that enables the autonomous agents to modify their structural relations to achieve a better allocation of tasks in a simulated task-solving environment.
Cooperative Virtual Power Plant Formation Using Scoring Rules (Extended Abstract)
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a payment mechanism that encourages DERs to join virtual power plants (CVPPs) with large overall production, based on strictly proper scoring rules and elicits accurate probabilistic estimates of energy production from the CVPPs.
