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.

Journal ArticleDOI
Multi-Objective Multi-Agent Decision Making: A Utility-based Analysis and Survey
TL;DR: A new taxonomy is developed which classifies multi-objective multi-agent decision making settings, on the basis of the reward structures, and which and how utility functions are applied, and defines and discusses these solution concepts under both ESR and SER optimisation criteria.
Intelligent Belt Conveyor Monitoring and Control
TL;DR: In this paper, an embedded conductive detection system was developed as a novel belt conveyor monitoring technology, and the outputs of this research project demonstrate the effectiveness of an intelligent monitoring and control system.
Book
Assessment of Least-cost Pathways for Decarbonising Europe's Power Supply: a Model-based Long-term Scenario Analysis Accounting for the Characteristics of Renewable Energies
TL;DR: In this paper, a model is developed which optimises capacity expansion and hourly dispatch of both conventional and renewable power generation, transmission grids and storage facilities in all hours of the analysed years.
Formalizing Admissibility Criteria in Coalition Formation among Goal-directed Agents
TL;DR: This work compares the do-ut-des property, which is a qualitative criterion of admissibility, with the quantitative approach developed in Cooperative Game Theory, and defines a modal logic to reason about which goals a group of agents can assure if they collaborate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation-based assessment of machine criticality measures for a shifting bottleneck scheduling approach in complex manufacturing systems
Lars Mönch,Jens Zimmermann +1 more
TL;DR: An overall concept for adaptation of a hierarchically organized multi-agent-system applied to production control of complex job shops is sketched and results of computational experiments based on the simulation of a dynamic environment for the appropriate selection of machine criticality measures are presented.
