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 …

The concept of an agent has become important in both artificial intelligence (AT) and
mainstream computer science. Our aim in this paper is to point the reader at what we …

The concept of an agent has become important in both Artificial Intelligence (AI) and

Since the first edition was published two years ago, much has been done on extend ing the
work done on SMART to address new and important areas [3-5, 54, 79, 80, 108 …

Agent-oriented system development aims to simplify the construction of complex systems by
introducing a natural abstraction layer on top of the object-oriented paradigm composed of …

The use of agents of many different kinds in a variety of fields of computer science and
artificial intelligence is increasing rapidly and is due, in part, to their wide applicability. The …

“Buzz-saw” noise radiated from an aero-engine inlet duct occurs when the relative speed of
the inlet flow impinging on the fan blades is supersonic. The pressure field attached to a …

We present a unifying perspective of the individual control layers of the agent architecture I

The emotions are investigated from the perspective of an Arti cial Intelligence engineer
attempting to understand the requirements and design options for autonomous resource …

There is a growing body of work that concentrates on theoretical aspects of agents and multi-
agent systems, and a complementary body of work concerned with building practical …
