In this paper, we argue that allowing self-interested agents to activate social institutions during run-time can improve the robustness (i.e., stability, cooperation or fairness) ...
In this paper, we present our open source, platform independent toolkit for developing 3D talking agents, namely Xface. It relies on MPEG-4 Face Animation (FA) standard. The toolk...
We describe a VRML/Java-based virtual environment that is populated with heterogeneous articulated agents. In this simulated environment, agents compete for collecting certain obj...
Open systems are characterized by heterogeneous participants which can enter or leave the system at will. Typical examples are e-commerce applications or information agent systems...
