Hierarchies are one of the most common organizational structures observed in multi-agent systems. In this paper we study vertical specialization as a reason for hierarchical struc...
To achieve a smart sensor network with Web-based sensor nodes such as Field Servers, we propose a hierarchical agent system that manages sensor nodes autonomously and flexibly, an...
Traditional processor scheduling mechanisms in operating systems are fairly rigid, often supportingonly one fixed scheduling policy, or, at most, a few "scheduling classes&qu...
We describe a Multi-Agent System (MAS) for controlling teams of uninhabited air vehicles (UAVs) in the context of a larger system that has been used to evaluate potential concepts...
The capability of perceiving the environment is crucial for advancing the level of autonomy and sophistication of (semi)autonomous robotic systems and determines the complexity of ...
