Systems of autonomous agents providing automated services over the Web are fast becoming a reality. Often these agent systems are constructed using procedural architectures that pr...
Despite the relevance of the belief-desire-intention (BDI) model of rational agency, little work has been done to deal with its two main limitations: the lack of learning competen...
In this paper, we present the index-permutation (IP) graph model, and apply it to the systematic development of efficient hierarchical networks. We derive several classes of inter...
In the paper we present an overview of Saga Security System, a security architecture in open distributed systems. An agent in Saga Security System is called a Saga Agent. The auth...
Crowd simulations require both rendering visually plausible images and managing the behavior of autonomous agents. Therefore, these applications need an efficient design that allo...
