The Procedural Reasoning System (PRS) is the best established agent architecture currently available. It has been deployed in many major industrial applications, ranging from fault...

Abstract. We address the problem of constructing multiagent systems by coordinating autonomous agents, whose internal designs may not be fully known. We develop a customizable coor...
Abstract. Many autonomous agents operate in domains in which the cooperation of their fellow agents cannot be guaranteed. In such domains negotiation is essential to persuade other...

Incorporating coalition formation algorithms into agent systems shall be advantageous due to the consequent increase in the overall quality of task performance. Coalition formatio...
We briefly overview the architecture of a diagnosis agent. We employ logic and logic programming to specify and implement the agent: the knowledge base uses extended logic progra...
Many agent-based systems rely for their effectiveness on the intelligence of individual agents, and interaction among agents is required simply to coordinate these individually com...
Abstract. This paper presents a general multi-agent architecture for the management of businessprocesses,and an agent designthat has been implemented within such a system. The auto...

This paper addresses issues in developing open multiagent systems, in which it is easy to expand the functionality by adding new agents with new capabilities, and which facilitate ...
Abstract. We address the issue of semantics for an agent communication language. In particular, the semantics of Knowledge Query Manipulation Language (KQML) is investigated. KQML ...
Abstract. Just as cooperation in multi-agent systems is a central issue for solving complex tasks, so too is the ability for an intelligent agent to reason about combined knowledge...
