In this research note, we introduce a graded BDI agent development framework, g-BDI for
short, that allows to build agents as multi-context systems that reason about three …

The imperfect nature of context in Ambient Intelligence environments and the special
characteristics of the entities that possess and share the available context information render …

Computational trust and reputation models have been recognized as one of the key
technologies required to design and implement agent systems. These models manage and …

Ambient Intelligence environments host various agents that collect, process, change and
share the available context information. The imperfect nature of context, the open and …

Norms have been employed as a coordination mechanism for Open MAS, but to become
effective, they must be internalized by agents; ie these agents must be able to accept norms …

Multi-Agent Systems require coordination mechanisms in order to assemble the behaviour
of autonomous and heterogeneous agents and achieve the desired performance of the …

The usage of agents has become one of the most effective ways to deal with complex
systems. The agent's approach allows for the parallel execution of actions and eases the …

In many cases, creating long-term solutions to sustainability issues requires not only
innovative technology, but also large-scale public adoption of the proposed solutions. Social …

In intentional agents, actions are derived from the mental attitudes and their relationships. In
particular, preferences (positive desires) and restrictions (negative desires) are important …
