Two-player game structures for generalized planning and agent composition
TL;DR: These structures are akin to transition systems/Kripke structures, usually adopted in model checking, except that they distinguish between the actions/moves of two antagonistic players, and it is shown that using them the authors can implement solvers for several agent behavior synthesis problems.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Using intelligent agents to understand management practices and retail productivity
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply agent-based modeling and simulation to investigate a set of problems in a retail context, where they are working to understand the relationship between human resource management practices and retail productivity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Artificial agents among us: Should we recognize them as agents proper?
TL;DR: This paper discusses whether in a society where the use of artificial agents is pervasive, these agents should be recognized as having rights like those the authors accord to group agents and argues that in order for an artificial agent to be so recognized, it will need to meet the same basic conditions in light of which group agents are granted such recognition.

Crowdsourced science: sociotechnical epistemology in the e-research paradigm
David Watson,Luciano Floridi +1 more
TL;DR: This article uses quantitative methods to evaluate Zooniverse, the world’s largest citizen science web portal, and calls for an explicitly sociotechnical turn in the philosophy of science that combines insights from statistics and logic to analyse the latest developments in scientific research.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Agent-Based Geographical Information System
O.L.M. de Farias,Neide Santos +1 more
TL;DR: A general description of the desirable capabilities of ABSGIS is given, describing some features it should incorporate, and presenting some examples that could explore this kind of tool.

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.
