Behavioral modeling and verification of multi-agent systems for manufacturing control

TL;DR: This work describes an efficient and scalable approach to formal verification based on an industrial-strength model checking tool and illustrates it with an example.
Book ChapterDOI

Supporting Renewable Power Supply through Distributed Coordination of Energy Resources

TL;DR: DVPP is introduced as a first prototype of distributed controlled components of a Smart Grid, suggesting distributed, agent-based and self-organized control algorithms for distributed units in a “Smart Grid” as a promising but challenging solution.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Agents and databases: friends or foes?

TL;DR: It is argued that the ensuing uncertainty in distributed databases can be modelled by beliefs, and the basic concepts for adjusting peer-to-peer databases to the individual beliefs in single nodes and collective beliefs in the entire distributed database are developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

A cooperative expert based support vector regression (Co-ESVR) system to determine collar dimensions around bridge pier

TL;DR: Numerical results indicate that the Co-ESVR achieves better accuracy in reducing the percentage of scour depth with a smaller network size, compared to the non-cooperative approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Static, Dynamic, and Adaptive Heterogeneity in Distributed Smart Camera Networks

TL;DR: In some cases, outcomes from online learning were more efficient than all other evaluated configuration types, and it is shown that online learning typically leads to outcomes more evenly spread over the objective space.

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.
