The key intent of this work is to present a comprehensive comparative literature survey of the
state-of-art in software agent-based computing technology and its incorporation within the …

Precisely when the success of artificial intelligence (AI) sub-symbolic techniques makes
them be identified with the whole AI by many non-computer-scientists and non-technical …

From computer games to human societies, many natural and artificial phenomena can be
represented as multi-agent systems. Over time, these systems have been proven a really …

Abstract JADE (Java Agent Development Framework) is a software framework to make easy
the development of multi-agent applications in compliance with the FIPA specifications …

Jason is an Open Source interpreter for an extended version of AgentSpeak–a logic-based
agent-oriented programming language–written in JavaTM. It enables users to build complex …

In this article we focus on the notion of artifact for agents in multi-agent systems (MAS) as a
basis for a new meta-model promoting the modelling and engineering of agent societies and …

Since a number of years agent technology is considered one of the most innovative
technologies for the development of distributed software systems. While not yet a …

Natural self-organising systems function without central control and operate based on
contextual local interactions. The particularity of self-organised systems is their capacity to …

The BDI model forms the basis of much of the research on symbolic models of agency and
agent-oriented software engineering. While many variants of the basic BDI model have been …

Together with the disruptive development of modern sub-symbolic approaches to artificial
intelligence (AI), symbolic approaches to classical AI are re-gaining momentum, as more …
