Journal ArticleDOI
Agent-based execution of personalised home care treatments
TL;DR: The architecture of the K4Care platform, how personalised treatments are created, and how they are executed through the co-ordinated work of agents are described.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Distributed norm management in regulated multiagent systems
Dorian Gaertner,Andrés García-Camino,Pablo Noriega,Juan A. Rodríguez-Aguilar,Wamberto Vasconcelos +4 more
TL;DR: This work formalises the notion of conflict, providing a mapping of NSs into Coloured Petri Nets and borrowing well-known theoretical results from that field, and presents a tractable algorithm to be employed distributedly for the distributed enactment of a NS.
Book ChapterDOI
Enhancing NetLogo to Simulate BDI Communicating Agents
TL;DR: It is argued that NetLogo meets most of the requirements that suit the requirements of a simulation platform for complex agent and multi-agent systems, and is presented as an implementation in which agents cooperate under a Contract Net protocol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Multiple energy carrier optimisation with intelligent agents
Spyros Skarvelis-Kazakos,Panagiotis Papadopoulos,Iñaki Grau Unda,Terry Gorman,A. Belaidi,Stefan Zigan +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, an approach for controlling multiple energy carriers, including electricity (AC or DC), heat, natural gas and hydrogen, with the objective to minimize the overall cost and/or emissions, while adhering to technical and commercial constraints, such as network limits and market contracts, is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Algorithms for automated live migration of virtual machines
TL;DR: Two live migration strategies for load balancing, "pull" and "push", are investigated and it is discovered that each strategy comes out as "best" under different types of workload.

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.
Book
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.
