In open systems where the components, i.e. the agents and the resources, may be unknown at design time, or in dynamic and self-organizing systems evolving with time, there is a ne...
This paper describes the specification, design and development of ACTIVE, a testbed for the testing and simulation of large-scale agent-based systems. ACTIVE is being developed as...

Autonomous software agents provide a promising solution to the needs of decentralised networked systems, able to adapt their behaviour in a complex and dynamically changing environ...
We continue the investigation of P coloniesintroduced in [7], of abstract computing devices composed of independent agents, acting and evolving in a shared environment. We determin...
An agent population can be evolved in a complex environment to perform various tasks and optimize its job performance using Learning Classifier System (LCS) technology. Due to the...
