If robotic agents are to act autonomously they must have the ability to construct and reason about models of their physical environment. For example, planning to achieve goals req...
We report on a case study in the emergence of a lexicon in a group of autonomous distributed agents situated and grounded in an open environment. Because the agents are autonomous,...
This paper describes how query formulation can be made simple and less complicated by using ontologies. It takes a brief look at several advantages of using ontologies in a distri...
