An operational semantics for the goal life-cycle in BDI agents

TL;DR: This work develops a detailed description of goal states, and a comprehensive suite of operations that may be applied to goals (including dropping, aborting, suspending and resuming them), and provides an operational semantics corresponding to this detailed description in an abstract agent language (CAN).
Book

Information Systems Foundations: The Role of Design Science

TL;DR: This volume presents papers from the fourth biennial Information Systems Foundation Workshop, held at The Australian National University in Canberra from 2–3 October, 2008, and provides a critical examination of current design science ideas.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Service Oriented Architecture To Integrate Mobile Assessment In Learning Management Systems

TL;DR: A Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) facilitated integration of software agents within LMS, and implementation of new processes to support learning.
Journal ArticleDOI

A methodology for knowledge acquisition from the web

TL;DR: An incremental and domain independent learning methodology modelled over a multi-agent system that crawls the Web composing knowledge structures (ontologies) from the interrelation of several automatically obtained taxonomies of terms according to the user’s interests is proposed.

Agent-based simulation of stakeholders relations : An approach to sustainable port terminal management

TL;DR: In this article, an agent-based simulation of stakeholders relations is proposed for sustainable port terminal management, which is based on simulation of the stakeholders' interactions with the port terminal itself.

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.
