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 …

Intelligent and autonomous agents is a subarea of symbolic artificial intelligence where
these agents decide, either reactively or proactively, upon a course of action by reasoning …

The complexity of occupant behavior is one of the major contributors to uncertainty in
building performance simulation. Agent-based modeling (ABM), a computational simulation …

A recent survey provides convincing evidence that JADE is among the most widely used
tools to develop agent-based software systems. It finds application in industrial settings and …

It is claimed that, in the nascent 'Cognitive Era', intelligent systems will be trained using
machine learning techniques rather than programmed by software developers. A contrary …

This paper describes, from motivations and main objectives to actual implementation, a
novel agent-oriented programming language called JADEL. JADEL is designed to support …

To improve the fault tolerance of production systems against unforeseen events, modern
production systems must be able to react more autonomously with suitable solutions to …

The adoption of formal methods (FMs) as a software development methodology remains
low. Advocates of FMs point to the advantages to be gained by producing highly …

The agile software development life cycle is widely used in industry today due to its highly
flexible and iterative processes that facilitate rapid prototyping. There has been recent work …

This paper describes the features of a scripting language proposed to support the practical
implementation of agents and multi-agent systems using an agent-oriented programming …
