The inherent difficulty in supporting human usability in large control systems--such as building environmental and security systems--derives from the large diversity of components...

To facilitate the design of large-scale, self-adaptive systems, we have developed the Port-Based Adaptable Agent Architecture. This distributed, multiagent architecture allows syst...

This paper presents a model for adaptive agents. The model describes the behavior of an agent as a graph of roles, in short a behavior graph. Links between roles provide conditions...

We discuss the design of multi-dimensional tender and auction mechanisms that combine Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and auction theory. The mechanisms select an agent to perform...
Simulations utilizing virtual humans, or computer controlled agents, are more predominant now than ever. Many of these simulations suffer from a lack of effective, stimulating, and...
