There have been numerous attempts to provide a standardized definition of a computational agent, but little consensus has emerged. We propose a simple test for agenthood that can ...
This paper advocates the application of multi-agent techniques in the realisation of social robotic behaviour. We present the Social Robot Architecture, which integrates the key e...

: The problem of patient scheduling in hospitals is characterized by high uncertainty and dynamics in patient treatments. Additional complexity in the planning and coordination pro...
Real-time computations in multi-agent systems have been studied from different perspectives of reasoning, message passing, resource management and negotiations. Separate treatment...
Patient scheduling in hospitals is a highly complex task. Hospitals have a distributed organisational structure; being divided into several autonomous wards and ancillary units. M...
