Intelligent Computer Tools for Supporting Human Negotiation: System and Research

Tools for analyzing intelligent agent systems

When developing sophisticated multi-agent systems whose behaviors include collaboration, negotiation, and conflict resolution, analyzing and (empirically) verifying agent system behavior is a challenging task. To aid the developer in such tasks, this paper presents an approach that combines two software engineering tools – the Tracer Tool and the TTL Checker, which together record agent activit...

Knowledge Acquisition Tools for Intelligent Tutoring Systems

The EDULAN project focuses in the field of Computer Assisted Learning and aims to generalize and translate to web-oriented technologies some results obtained previously on the Intelligent Tutoring Systems area. Particularly, four complementary research lines are being considered: knowledge acquisition tools for building Intelligent Tutoring Systems; adaptative and Web-oriented teaching/learning...

Intelligent Methods for Embedded Systems

This paper discusses auspicious methods for the implementation of intelligent solutions for embedded systems. An embedded system is a computer system designed to perform a dedicated or narrow range of functions with a minimal user intervention. An intelligent system is a system that is able to react appropriately to changing situations without user input. Main challenges for intelligent solutio...

Radioport: A Radio Network for Monitoring and Diagnosing Computer Systems

A radio network is described for configuring, monitoring, and diagnosing the components of a computer system. Such a network offers several advantages: (a) it improves the robustness of the overall system by not having the monitoring functions rely on the interconnect of the monitored system; (b) by broadcasting information it offers direct communication between the monitoring and monitored com...
