A framework for resolving task overload problems using intelligent software agents

TL;DR: The complexity of decision making process in multi-level hierarchical organization is explored and delegation rules are applied to resolve issues relating to task overload problem and a framework is developed to resolve the problem.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Vicious and Virtuous Cycles in Global Virtual Team Role Coordination

TL;DR: The findings reveal that role ambiguity may lead to the emergence of individual roles in GVT contingent on task interdependency, and identifies technical roles as being salient in the GVT context.

An implementation plan for integrated control and asset management of petroleum production facilities

TL;DR: In this paper, a conceptual model for an intelligent asset management system for the petroleum industry is presented, and a simplified system prototype is introduced as a colored petri net model, which will be used to analyze the prototype logical structure and dynamic performance.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

A new agent-based framework for the simulation of electricity markets

TL;DR: A multi-agent simulator is proposed where agents represent several entities that can be found in electricity markets, such as generators, consumers, market operators and network operators, but also entities that are emerging with the advent of liberalization,such as traders.
Journal ArticleDOI

Intelligent Role-Based Access Control Model and Framework Using Semantic Business Roles in Multi-Domain Environments

TL;DR: The proposed Intelligent RBAC model is mathematically described, the overall I-RBAC framework and its implementation architecture is explained, and the implementation results show a linear runtime trend of the model in presence of a large number of permission assignments and multiple queries.

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.
