Agents and the Semantic Web

by James Hendler - IEEE INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS , 2001
"... Many challenges of bringing communicating multiagent systems to the Web require ontologies. The integration of agent technology and ontologies could significantly affect the use of Web services and the ability to extend programs to perform tasks for users more efficiently and with less human interve ..."

An Ontology for Commitments in Multiagent Systems: Toward a Unification of Normative Concepts

by Munindar P. Singh - Artificial Intelligence and Law
"... . Social commitments have long been recognized as an important concept for multiagent systems. We propose a rich formulation of social commitments that motivates an architecture for multiagent systems, which we dub spheres of commitment. We identify the key operations on commitments and multiagent s ..."

Ontological Feedback in Multiagent Systems

by Robbert-Jan Beun, Robbert-jan Beun, Rogier M. van Eijk, Rogier M. Van Eijk, Huub Prüst, Huub Prüst , 2004
"... In this paper, we present a computational framework for the detection of ontological discrepancies in multiagent systems. The framework is developed as a basis for the generation of feedback utterances at the ontological level. In our method, presuppositions are extracted from the sender's mess ..."

The Origins of Ontologies and Communication Conventions in Multi-Agent Systems

by Luc Steels - Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems , 1997
"... The paper proposes a complex adaptive systems approach to the formation of an ontology and a shared lexicon in a group of distributed agents with only local interactions and no central control authority. The underlying mechanisms are explained in some detail and results of some experiments with robo ..."

Integrating Ontologies into Multiagent Systems

by Engineering Jonathan Dileo, Jonathan Dileo, Timothy Jacobs, Scott Deloach - Proceedings of 4th International Bi-Conference Workshop on Agent Oriented Information Systems (AOIS 2002 , 2002
"... Multiagent systems have received much attention in recent years due to their advantages in complex, distributed environments. A number of methodologies have been proposed for engineering multiagent systems, however, these methodologies do not adequately address the information domain of the syst ..."

A classification of natural rivers.

by David L Rosgen - Catena , 1994
"... Abstract A classification system for natural rivers is presented in which a morphological arrangement of stream characteristics is organized into relatively homogeneous stream types. This paper describes morphologically similar stream reaches that are divided into 7 major stream type categories tha ..."

in the mountains to the coastal plains. A stream hierarchical inventory system is presented which utilizes the stream classification system. Examples for use of this stream classification system for engineering, fish habitat enhancement, restoration and water resource management applications are presented

An Ontology-based Multi-agent System for

by Pakornpong Pothipruk, Pattarachai Lalitrojwong
"... Abstract—In a multi-agent system (MAS), at least one agent matchmaking service is required to let any agent in the system find some agents that can help it complete some part of its job. This service is normally in the form of a typical agent called matchmaking agent. In this work, Distributed Match ..."
