Designing Agents to Understand Infants

Dean Petters
TL;DR: This thesis demonstrates how the methodology that it is uses in investigating attachment behaviour in infancy may be extended to many other infant and developmental behaviours.
Journal ArticleDOI

Internet‐Based Integrated Environmental Assessment, Part II: Semantic Searching Based on Ontologies and Agent Systems for Knowledge Discovery

TL;DR: A software prototype that has been developed for sharing and discovery of expert knowledge from domains related to industrial ecology is described and a proof of concept demonstration of the prototype is provided, using a hypothetical scenario of four researchers around the world who have knowledge that could aid each other's research efforts.
Dissertation

A theoretical and practical approach to a persuasive agent model for change behaviour in oral care and hygiene

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a formal persuasive agent model that leads to psychological reactance reduction in order to achieve an improved behaviour change intervention in oral care and hygiene, which is based on belief-desire-intention architecture.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Technological Perspective on Information Cascades via Social Learning

TL;DR: This work re-examines the well-known phenomenon of information cascade, whereby rational agents can ignore personal knowledge to follow a predominant social behavior triggered by earlier decisions made by peers, from a communication theoretic perspective, interpreting social learning as a distributed data processing scheme.
Book ChapterDOI

Social Human-Robot Interaction: A New Cognitive and Affective Interaction-Oriented Architecture

TL;DR: CAIO, a Cognitive and Affective Interaction-Oriented architecture for social human-robot interactions (HRI), allowing robots to reason on mental states (including emotions), and to act physically, emotionally and verbally.

Journal ArticleDOI

Statistical physics of social dynamics

TL;DR: In this article, a wide list of topics ranging from opinion and cultural and language dynamics to crowd behavior, hierarchy formation, human dynamics, and social spreading are reviewed and connections between these problems and other, more traditional, topics of statistical physics are highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Developing multiagent systems: The Gaia methodology

TL;DR: It is argued that a multiagent system can naturally be viewed and architected as a computational organization, and the appropriate organizational abstractions that are central to the analysis and design of such systems are identified.

Programming Multi-Agent Systems in AgentSpeak using Jason (Wiley Series in Agent Technology)

TL;DR: The Jason Agent Programming Language as discussed by the authors is a programming language based on the BDI Agent Model that allows to define simulated environments and communicate with multiple agents in a BDI agent language.
Book ChapterDOI

Computational Intelligence: An Introduction

TL;DR: The general public becomes rapidly jaded with such ‘bold predictions’ that fail to live up to their original hype, and which ultimately render the zealots’ promises as counter-productive.
Journal ArticleDOI

Agent-based systems for manufacturing

TL;DR: The evolution of agent technologies and manufacturing will probably proceed hand in hand and the former can receive real challenges from the latter, which will have more and more benefits in applying agent technologies, presumably together with well-established or emerging approaches of other disciplines.
