From a software engineering perspective, agent systems are a specialization of object-oriented (OO) systems, in which individual objects have their own threads of control and thei...
Abstract—The imperfect nature of context in Ambient Intelligence environments and the special characteristics of the entities that possess and share the available context informa...
In the AOSE (Agent-Oriented Software Engineering) area, several research efforts are underway to develop appropriate meta-models for agent-oriented methodologies. Meta-models are ...
In the design of resource bounded agents, high-level cognitive activities, such as reasoning, raise important problems related both to the adaptive ability and to the computationa...
Modern Bayesian Network learning algorithms are timeefficient, scalable and produce high-quality models; these algorithms feature prominently in decision support model development...
