The agent computing paradigm is rapidly emerging as one of the powerful technologies for
the development of large-scale distributed systems to deal with the uncertainty in a dynamic …

This paper provides a survey of existing research on agent-based approaches to
transportation and traffic management. A framework for describing and assessing this work …

This paper presents the modeling of a disturbance on a public transportation line. The
proposed model allows the synthesis, evaluation and update of available information in …

This paper presents an agent-based approach used to design a Transportation Regulation
Support System (TRSS), that reports the network activity in real-time and thus assists the bus …

The environment has been recognized as an explicit and exploitable element to design multi-
agent systems (MAS). It can be assigned a number of responsibilities that would be more …

This paper models part of a public transport network (PTN), specifically, a bus route, as a
small-size multi-agent system (MAS). The proposed approach is applied to a case study …

Due to several external and internal disturbances affecting public transportation systems,
some regulation measures have to be undertaken. In the regulation process, the regulator …

The purpose of this chapter is to introduce the reader to the key concepts of complexity and
emergence, and to give an overview of the state of the art techniques used to study and …

Tag interactions refer to interactions in which software agents are intentionally or
opportunistically involved. Intentional tag interactions allow agents to observe each other …

Overhearing has been proposed recently as a model of indirect interactions in Multi–Agent
Systems. Overhearer agents receive messages that were not primarily sent to them, as when …
