Intelligent agents: Theory and practice

by Michael Wooldridge, Nicholas R. Jennings - The Knowledge Engineering Review , 1995
"... The concept of an agent has become important in both Artificial Intelligence (AI) and mainstream computer science. Our aim in this paper is to point the reader at what we perceive to be the most important theoretical and practical issues associated with the design and construction of intelligent age ..."

agents. For convenience, we divide these issues into three areas (though as the reader will see, the divisions are at times somewhat arbitrary). Agent theory is concerned with the question of what an agent is, and the use of mathematical formalisms for representing and reasoning about the properties

Agent theories, architectures, and languages: a survey

by Michael J. Wooldridge, Nicholas R. Jennings , 1995
"... The concept of an agent has recently become important in Artificial Intelligence (AI), and its relatively youthful subfield, Distributed AI (DAI). Our aim in this paper is to point the reader at what we perceive to be the most important theoretical and practical issues associated with the design and ..."

BDI Agents: From Theory to Practice

by Anand S. Rao, Michael P. Georgeff - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE FIRST INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON MULTI-AGENT SYSTEMS (ICMAS-95 , 1995
"... The study of computational agents capable of rational behaviour has received a great deal of attention in recent years. Theoretical formalizations of such agents and their implementations have proceeded in parallel with little or no connection between them. This paper explores a particular typ ..."

Consensus and cooperation in networked multi-agent systems

by Reza Olfati-Saber , J Alex Fax , Richard M Murray , Reza Olfati-Saber , J Alex Fax , Richard M Murray - Proceedings of the IEEE , 2007
"... Summary. This paper provides a theoretical framework for analysis of consensus algorithms for multi-agent networked systems with an emphasis on the role of directed information flow, robustness to changes in network topology due to link/node failures, time-delays, and performance guarantees. An ove ..."

AgentSpeak(L): BDI Agents speak out in a logical computable language

by Anand S. Rao , 1996
"... Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agents have been investigated by many researchers from both a theoretical specification perspective and a practical design perspective. However, there still remains a large gap between theory and practice. The main reason for this has been the complexity of theorem-prov ..."

Consensus Problems in Networks of Agents with Switching Topology and Time-Delays

by Reza Olfati Saber, Richard M. Murray , 2003
"... In this paper, we discuss consensus problems for a network of dynamic agents with fixed and switching topologies. We analyze three cases: i) networks with switching topology and no time-delays, ii) networks with fixed topology and communication time-delays, and iii) max-consensus problems (or leader ..."

A unified theory of underreaction, momentum trading and overreaction in asset markets

by Harrison Hong, Jeremy C. Stein , 1999
"... We model a market populated by two groups of boundedly rational agents: “newswatchers” and “momentum traders.” Each newswatcher observes some private information, but fails to extract other newswatchers’ information from prices. If information diffuses gradually across the population, prices underre ..."

Flocking for Multi-Agent Dynamic Systems: Algorithms and Theory

by Reza Olfati-Saber , 2006
"... In this paper, we present a theoretical framework for design and analysis of distributed flocking algorithms. Two cases of flocking in free-space and presence of multiple obstacles are considered. We present three flocking algorithms: two for free-flocking and one for constrained flocking. A compre ..."

-species framework for construction of collective potentials that consist of flock-members, or α-agents, and virtual agents associated with α-agents called β- and γ-agents. We show that migration of flocks can be performed using a peer-to-peer network of agents, i.e. “flocks need no leaders.” A “universal

Human agency in social cognitive theory

In analyzing the operation of human agency in this interactional causal structure, social cognitive theory accords a central role to cognitive, vicarious, self- ..."
