Assessing the value of cooperation and information exchange in large water resources systems by agent‐based optimization

TL;DR: A novel decision‐analytic framework based on multiagent systems to model and analyze different levels of cooperation and information exchange among multiple decision makers is proposed and shows coordination to be particularly beneficial to environmental interests.

Multiobjective Optimization for Stiffness and Position Control in a Soft Robot Arm Module

TL;DR: The central concept of this letter is to develop an assistive manipulator that can automate the bathing task for elderly citizens by exploiting principles of soft robotic technologies to design and control a compliant system to ensure safe human–robot interaction.
Journal Article

AgentOWL: Semantic Knowledge Model and Agent Architecture

TL;DR: The aim of this article is to present a semantic knowledge model of an agent suitable for discrete environments as well as implementation and a use of such model using the Jena semantic web library and the JADE agent system.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Next Generation of Research on IS Use: A Theoretical Framework of Delegation to and from Agentic IS Artifacts

TL;DR: It is argued that a new generation of “agentic” IS artifacts requires revisiting the human agency primacy assumption, and an IS delegation theoretical framework is developed, which provides a scaffolding which can guide future IS delegation theorizing and focuses on the human-agentic IS artifact ​dyad​ as the elemental unit of analysis.

Norm-Governed Practical Reasoning Agents

TL;DR: This thesis describes a model of norm-governed practical reasoning agents that are able to take normative positions into account during practical reasoning and demonstrates the implementation of this model in the form of the NoA Normative Agent language and architecture.

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.
