A Multi-Agent Platform Supporting

by unknown authors
"... Abstract—In this paper we present the European project named E-Support, aimed to the maintenance companies which work on the field, away from the central headquarters. The main goal of E-Support is to help the field engineers and technicians to access the knowledge base of the company. They will con ..."

. They will connect to remote servers by using mobile devices in order to get information about vendors, customers, plants, parts and download technical documents. The whole system will be implemented by a multi-agent platform running agents on mobile devices and server agents that provide the services. A particular

Multi-agent platforms on smart devices: Dream or reality

by Cosmin Carabelea, Olivier Boissier - ECCBR Workshop on Case Based Reasoning and Personalisation , 2002
"... Due to the emergence of Internet and embedded computing, humans will be more and more faced to an increasing intrusion of computing in their day-to-day life by what it is called now smart communicating objects. Agents’ characteristics like pro-activeness, autonomy and sociability and the inherent di ..."

From Analysis to Deployment: A Multi-Agent Platform Survey

by Pierre-michel Ricordel, Yves Demazeau - Engineering Societies in the Agents World, LNAI 1972 , 2000
"... Abstract. This paper presents a survey on multi-agent platforms, with a particular focus on methodology. It presents the four stages of the construction of a multi-agent system and derives from these stages several criteria for comparison. These criteria are then used to evaluate four selected platf ..."

Concurrent Architecture for a Multi-agent Platform

by Michael Duvigneau, Daniel Moldt, Heiko Rölke - in Proceedings of AOSE'02, AAMAS , 2002
"... Abstract. A multi-agent system has a high degree of concurrency. Petri nets are a well-established means for the description of concurrent systems. Reference nets are higher level, object-oriented Petri nets. With Renew (REference NEt Workshop), there exists a tool to model and execute reference net ..."

nets with seamless Java integration. So, reference nets can be used to design executable multi-agent systems while hiding the sometimes annoying details of concurrent implementations in traditional programming languages. The technique is currently used to implement a FIPA-compliant agent platform

Quake II as a Robotic and Multi-Agent Platform

by Chris Brown, Peter Barnum, Dave Costello, George Ferguson, Bo Hu, Mike Van Wie , 2004
"... We have modified the public-domain Quake II game to support research and teaching. Our research is in multi-agent control and supporting human-computer interfaces. Teaching applications have so far been in an undergraduate Artificial Intelligence class and include natural language understanding, mac ..."

Towards a pragmatic use of ontologies in multi-agent platforms

by Jean-christophe Routier, Yann Secq
"... Abstract. The knowledge representation field is gaining momentum with the advent of the Semantic Web activity within the W3C. This working group, thanks to previous researches, has proposed the Ontol-ogy Web Language to enhance the expressivity of web pages and to allow semantic inferences. This pap ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
. This paper argues that knowledge representation technologies should be core components of multi-agent platforms. In the first part of this paper, we introduce our agent model that relies on the notion of skill. Then, we identify several criteria that let us to be-lieve that the Owl language should be used

DimaX: A FaultTolerant Multi-Agent Platform

by Nora Faci, Zahia Guessoum, Olivier Marin - Proceedings of the 2006 international workshop on Software engineering for large-scale multi-agent systems Pages: 13 – 20 , 2006
"... Fault tolerance is an important property of large-scale multi-agent systems as the failure rate grows with both the number of the hosts and deployed agents, and the duration of computation. Several approaches have been introduced to deal with some aspects of the faulttolerance problem. However, most ..."
Abstract - Cited by 6 (2 self) - Add to MetaCart
, most existing solutions are ad hoc. Thus, no existing multi-agent architecture or platform provides a fault-tolerance service that can be reused to facilitate the design and implementation of reliable multi-agent systems. So, we have developed a faulttolerant multi-agent platform (named DimaX) which

A Multi-agent Platform using Ordered Choice Logic Programming

by Marina De Vos, Tom Crick, Julian Padget, Martin Brain, Owen Cliffe, Jonathan Needham - In Declarative Agent Languages and Technologies (DALT’05 , 2005
"... Abstract. Multi-agent systems (MAS) can take many forms depending on the characteristics of the agents populating them. Amongst the more demanding properties with respect to the design and implementation is how these agents may individually reason and communicate about their knowledge and beliefs, w ..."
