We describe a general model for embedding object-oriented constructs into calculi of mobile agents. The model results from extending agents with methods and primitives for message ...
BDI (Belief, Desire, Intention) agent systems are very powerful, but they lack the ability to incorporate planning. There has been some previous work to incorporate planning withi...
The ubiquity of our increasingly distributed and complex computing environments have necessitated the development of programming approaches and paradigms that can automatically man...
We present an interior-point penalty method for nonlinear programming (NLP), where the merit function consists of a piecewise linear penalty function (PLPF) and an 2-penalty functi...
We present a principled and efficient planning algorithm for cooperative multiagent dynamic systems. A striking feature of our method is that the coordination and communication be...
