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.

Reasoning about time, action and knowledge in multi-agent systems

TL;DR: This thesis provides a logic-based account for the specification and verification of MASs, in terms of time, action and knowledge, which helps to build intelligent, intelligent, rational and social agents.
Book ChapterDOI

Hermes: Designing Flexible and Robust Agent Interactions

TL;DR: This chapter presents Hermes, a goaloriented design methodology for agent interactions which is aimed at being pragmatic for practicing software engineers and results in interactions that are more flexible and robust than messagecentric approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modelling and simulating retail management practices: a first approach

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors apply agent-based modeling and simulation to investigate a set of problems in a retail context, focusing on the relationship between people management practices on the shop-floor and retail performance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Simulation-based performance evaluation of the cellular transport system

TL;DR: The main objective of this paper is to determine the performance of the CTS under various pre-defined scenarios in order to support the design process and apply situated agent-based simulation as a tool for modeling and implementing a decentralized control of the vehicle.

An Adaptive Sanctioning Enforcement Model for Normative Multiagent Systems

TL;DR: In this paper, a typology of sanctions that reflect the interplay of relevant features of sociotechnical systems is proposed, and a sanctioning enforcement process describing the functions of the diversity of components and their relationships is presented.
