Previous work has addressed the development of a framework to categorise and understand agent-based systems. It described and formalised an agent-hierarchy that included objects, ...
Agent systems are highly distributed and feature widespread coordination and collaboration. Because of these characteristics, a traditional object oriented approach to software de...
Led by the fundamental role that rhythms apparently play in speech and gestural communication among humans, this study was undertaken to substantiate a biologically motivated model...
A critical challenge to creating effective agent-based systems is allowing them to operate effectively when the operating environment is complex, dynamic, and error-prone. In this...
Abstract. Currently, many kinds of information agents for di erent purposes exist. However, agents from di erent systems are still unable to cooperate, even if they accurately foll...
In agent systems, different (autonomous) agents collaborate to execute complex tasks. Each agent provides a set of useful capabilities, and the agent system combines these capabili...
Software engineers continually strive to develop tools and techniques to manage the complexity that is inherent in software systems. In this article, we argue that intelligent agen...
This paper suggests formal frameworks that can be used as the basis for defining, reasoning about, and verifying properties of agent systems. The language, Little-JIL is graphical...
Most agent systems today are closed and static. That is, one uses Agent-Oriented Software Engineering techniques to build agent systems in which the set of agents is specified ahe...
Abstract. Today’s software platforms that support the construction of agent systems in accordance with the FIPA specifications essentially provide enabling infrastructure servic...
