Preferring and Updating in Multi-Agents

Preferring and Updating in Abductive Multi-agent Systems

We present a logical framework and the declarative semantics of a multi-agent system in which each agent can communicate with and update other agents, can react to the environment, is able to prefer, whether beliefs or reactions, when several alternatives are possible, and is able to abduce hypotheses to explain observations. The knowledge state of an agent is represented by an updatable priori...

A NEW APPROACH BASED ON FINITE ELEMENT MODEL UPDATING FOR STRUCTURAL DAMAGE IDENTIFICATION

In this study, the finite element model updating was simulated by reducing the stiffness of the members. Due to lack of access to the experimental results, the data obtained from an analytical model were used in the proposed structural damage scenarios. The updating parameters for the studied structures were defined as a reduction coefficient applied to the stiffness of the members. Parameter v...

Distributed Fuzzy Adaptive Sliding Mode Formation for Nonlinear Multi-quadrotor Systems

This paper suggests a decentralized adaptive sliding mode formation procedure for affine nonlinear multi-quadrotor under a fixed directed topology wherever the followers are conquered by dynamical uncertainties. Compared with the previous studies which primarily concentrated on linear single-input single-output (SISO) agents or nonlinear agents with constant control gain, the proposed method is...

Age differences in verbal and visuo-spatial working memory updating: evidence from analysis of serial position curves.

Memory updating is the ability to select and update relevant information and suppress no-longer-relevant data. The few studies in this area, targeting mainly the verbal domain, have investigated and confirmed an age-related decline in working memory updating ability (De Beni & Palladino, 2004; Van der Linden, Bredart, & Beerten, 1994). The present research examines the ability of younger and ol...
