Abstract Many Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) methodologies incorporate a modeldriven approach. Model Driven Engineering is based on three main ideas: models are the “first-class citi...
Interconnected service providers constitute a highly dynamic, complex, distributed environment. Multi-agent system design-methodologies have been trying to address this kind of env...
In electrical heating systems, the electrical power consumption should be lower than the Contracted Power Limit. Energy distribution devices are used to solve this problem, but the...
Abstract—We present a new approach to providing soft realtime guarantees for Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agents. We define what it means for BDI agents to operate in real time...
