There is a wide agreement on the use of norms in order to specify the expected behaviour of agents in open MAS. However, in highly regulated domains, where norms dictate what can a...
A classic autonomous robot is an autonomous agent for open, unpredictable environments. Such an agent is inherently autonomous but not independent. Independence implies unpredictab...
Abstract-- In this paper we present the communication architecture of the DALI Logic Programming Agent-Oriented language and we discuss its semantics. We have designed a meta-level...
In this paper we propose a novel microkernel-based virtual machine (µKVM), a new code-based security framework with a simple and declarative security architecture. The main desig...
Incorporating constraints into a reactive BDI agent programming language can lead to better expressive capabilities as well as more efficient computation (in some instances). More...
