Multi-agent Based Simulations of Block-Free Distributed Ledgers

TL;DR: A new block-less, fee-less paradigm for distributed ledgers suitable for the WSN, IoT and CPS in which transactions are nodes of a directed acyclic graph that overcomes the limitations of blockchains for these applications.
Book ChapterDOI

Story manager in 'Europe 2045' uses Petri nets

TL;DR: A technique for specifying plots of these scenarios, which underpins the story manager of Europe 2045, is presented, based on a modification of Petri Nets.
Journal ArticleDOI

BDI agent testability revisited

TL;DR: This work focuses on BDI agent programs, and analyses their testability with respect to the all edges test adequacy criterion (also known as “branch coverage”), which shows that BDI programs are harder to test than equivalently-sized procedural programs, even if exception handling is introduced.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

An Agent-Based Simulation of SOA-Ready Devices

TL;DR: This paper explores the simulation of such an infrastructure composed of heterogeneous web-service enabled (SOA-ready) devices with the help of a multi-agent system.
Journal ArticleDOI

Providing QoS through machine-learning-driven adaptive multimedia applications

TL;DR: This work uses a genetic algorithm to decide when to trigger the adaptation process depending on the network conditions, and a set of rules which model the user-perceived QoS are learned using the SLIPPER rule induction algorithm.

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.
