Mobile agent technology has emerged as a promising programming paradigm for developing highly dynamic and large-scale service-oriented computing middlewares due to its desirable fe...
Abstract This paper attempts to define an emotional model for virtual agents that behave autonomously in social worlds. We adopt shallow modeling based on the decomposition of the...
In this work, an interaction model between artificial life agents (creatures) is proposed, which allows studying emergent social behavior of agents. This model describes the enviro...
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...
We address the issues of semantics and conversations for agent communication languages and the Knowledge Query Manipulation Language (KQML) in particular. Based on ideas from spee...
