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.

Multi-agent modelling for evaluating dynamic vehicle routing and scheduling systems

TL;DR: Multi-agent models for evaluating the behaviour and interaction among stakeholders who are involved in urban freight transport systems as well as effects of city logistics measures show that introducing the VRPTW-D model generated a win-win situation by increasing profits for freight carriers and decreasing the costs for shippers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Musical agents: A typology and state of the art towards Musical Metacreation

TL;DR: This review of musical agents combines the terminology of Generative Arts (artistic practice) and the scientific literature of Computational Creativity, Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), and Artificial Intelligence to propose possible future steps in the field.

Handbook of Research on Design, Control, and Modeling of Swarm Robotics

Ying Tan
TL;DR: The Handbook of Research on Design, Control, and Modeling of Swarm Robotics is a collection of the most important research achievements in swarm robotics thus far, covering the growing areas of design, control, and modeling of swarm robotics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cancer systems biology and modeling: Microscopic scale and multiscale approaches

TL;DR: Different systems biology modeling techniques such as systems of differential equations, stochastic methods, Boolean networks, Petri nets, cellular automata methods and agent-based systems are concisely discussed and the span of applicability they can bear on emerging cancer modeling and simulation approaches is addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Self-Understanding and Self-Extension: A Systems and Representational Approach

TL;DR: An architecture and a set of representations used in two robot systems that exhibit a limited degree of autonomous mental development are presented, which are term self-extension and include representations of gaps and uncertainty for specific kinds of knowledge.
