Agent-based approaches to manufacturing scheduling and control have gained increasing attention in recent years. Such approaches are attractive because they o er increased robustn...
This paper presents a theoretical study of decentralized control for sensing-based shape formation on modular multirobot systems, where the desired shape is specified in terms of ...
Goals are an important concept in intelligent agent systems, and can take a variety of forms. One such form is maintenance goals, which, unlike achievement goals, define states th...
Agent-based simulations are an increasingly popular means of exploring and understanding complex social systems. In order to be useful, these simulations must capture a range of a...
