Abstract. The agent design problem is as follows: Given an environment, together with a specification of a task, is it possible to construct an agent that will guarantee to succes...
Abstract. Dyna is a single-agent architectural framework that integrates learning, planning, and reacting. Well known instantiations of Dyna are Dyna-AC and Dyna-Q. Here a multiage...
In this paper we propose a methodology to help analyse tendencies in MAS to complement those of simple inspection, Monte Carlo and syntactic proof. We suggest an architecture that ...
This paper explores the use of bidding mechanisms to coordinate the actions requested by a group of agents in charge of achieving the task of guiding a robot towards a specified t...
Abstract. In this paper, we describe the Cognitive Agents Specification Language (CASL), and exhibit its characteristics by using it to model the multiagent feature interaction re...
This paper presents a programmable logic-based agent control system that interleaves planning, plan execution and perception. In this system, a program is a collection of logical f...
A perennial challenge in creating and using complex autonomous agents is following their choices of actions as the world changes dynamically and understanding why they act as they ...
An agent may decide to delegate tasks to others. The act of delegating a task by one autonomous agent to another can be carried out by the performance of one or more imperative com...
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...
