This chapter presents Jadex, a software framework for the creation of goal-oriented agents
following the belief-desire-intention (BDI) model. The Jadex project aims to make the …

Agent technology currently plays an important role in complex software development. The
underlying paradigm offers a large repertoire of original concepts, architectures, interaction …

Robert Siegfried presents a framework for efficient agent-based modeling and simulation of
complex systems. He compares different approaches for describing structure and dynamics …

In this paper, we focus on treatment scheduling for patients in hospitals. Scheduling and
coordinating patients in hospitals is faced with a high amount of complexity due to the …

In this paper we describe a time management approach to distributed agent-based
simulation. We propose a new time management policy by joining optimistic synchronization …

Face increasing both expenses and demands, Moroccan hospitals need currently to re-
engineer their logistic system. Thus, it seems understanding the complexity of the healthcare …

With the emergence of complex computer games and advanced gaming hardware,
possibilities for overcoming some of the deficiencies in traditional game AI are becoming …

Multi-agent simulations gain more and more importance for the simulation of complex
systems. In order to meet the continuously increasing requirements regarding complexity …

Synchronization mechanism is a key component of an agent-based simulation model and
platform. Conservative and optimistic models were proposed in the domain of distributed …

Verteilte dynamische Systeme unter lokalen und globalen Gesichtspunkten zu optimieren ist
eine schwierige Aufgabe. Zwar sind grundsätzliche Auswirkungen einzelner Maßnahmen …
