AKIRA: a Framework for MABS

Here we present AKIRA, a framework for Agent-based cognitive and social simulations. AKIRA is an open-source project, currently developed mainly at ISTC-CNR, that exploits state-of-the-art techniques and tools. It gives to the programmer a number of facilities for building Agents at different level of complexity (e.g. reactive, deliberative, layered). Here we describe the main architectural fea...

Implementing a Society of Functions in AKIRA

AKIRA is an open-source framework for cognitive and sociocognitive modeling and simulations, that couples the strength of solid design and implementation with the flexibility of an “open” platform, allowing to design and implement a number of different agent architectures and to test them in common scenarios. Here we describe the main components of the framework, that follows the Pandemonium me...

Nevus of Ota.

It is usually present at birth in the two thirds of patients who have ocular involvement.It is more common in females with 5% being bilateral.4 It was first described by Ota in 1939. It can be unilateral or bilateral. Exact etiology and pathology of NOO is not known. Unconfirmed hypothesis is that it represents melanocytes that have not migrated completely from the neural crest to the epidermis...
