The study of multi-agent systems (MAS) focuses on systems in which many intelligent agents
interact with each other. These agents are considered to be autonomous entities such as …

Protecting civil infrastructure from natural and man-made hazards is vital. Understanding the
impact of these hazards helps allocate resources efficiently. Researchers have recently …

We propose a dialogue game protocol for purchase negotiation dialogues which identifies
appropriate speech acts, defines constraints on their utterances, and specifies the different …

This study was commissioned by the Council of Europe's Committee of experts on human
rights dimensions of automated data processing and different forms of artificial intelligence …

In the late 1990s, AI witnessed an increasing use of the term'argumentation'within its
bounds: in natural language processing, in user interface design, in logic programming and …

Faster turnaround time of vessels and high berth productivity are paramount factors in
container terminals for assuring competitive advantage in the shipping industry. An …

Agent-based online negotiation technology has the potential to radically change the way e-
business is conducted. We present a formal model for autonomous agents to negotiate on …

We present an framework to detect and localize activities in unconstrained real-life video
sequences. This is a more challenging problem as it subsumes the activity classification …

This article presents an agent architecture for controlling an autonomous agent in stochastic,
noisy environments. The architecture combines the partially observable Markov decision …

In this paper we describe the initial results of an investigation into the relationship between
Markov Decision Processes (MDPS) and Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) architectures. While …
