Jason is an Open Source interpreter for an extended version of AgentSpeak–a logic-based
agent-oriented programming language–written in JavaTM. It enables users to build complex …

The past years have seen increasing cooperation between psychology and computer
science in the field of computational modeling of emotion. However, to realize its potential …

We discuss implicit and explicit knowledge representation mechanisms for evolutionary
algorithms (EAs). We also describe offline and online metaheuristics as examples of explicit …

In the late 1990s, AI witnessed an increasing use of the term'argumentation'within its
bounds: in natural language processing, in user interface design, in logic programming and …

Agent programming languages have often avoided the use of automated (first principles or
hierarchical) planners in favour of predefined plan/recipe libraries for computational …

Sophisticated agents operating in open environments must make decisions that efficiently
trade off the use of their limited resources between dynamic deliberative actions and domain …

Recent work in the design of agent interaction protocols has focused on applications
involving dialectical argumentation—the giving and receiving of reasons for statements. Yet …

One of the key problems in the design of belief-desire-intention (BDI) agents is that of finding
an appropriate policy for intention reconsideration. Crudely, the idea is that at any given …

This article presents an agent architecture for controlling an autonomous agent in stochastic,
noisy environments. The architecture combines the partially observable Markov decision …

Automated negotiation is a powerful (and sometimes essential) means for allocating
resources among self-interested autonomous software agents. A key problem in building …
