Representation of Autonomy in Distributed Agent-based Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The level of autonomy at which individual agents function is of critical importance to the overall operation of distributed agent-based systems. An agent's level of autonomy for a goal specifies the interaction framework in which that goal is planned. Substantial performance benefits for agent-based systems may be realized by agents that are capable of dynamically adapting their level of autonomy during system operation. This paper introduces a representation for agent autonomy levels and discusses its application to agent goals.

Robust Agent Based Distribution System Restoration with Uncertainty in Loads in Smart Grids
This paper presents a comprehensive robust distributed intelligent control for optimum self-healing activities in smart distribution systems considering the uncertainty in loads. The presented agent based framework obviates the requirements for a central control method and improves the reliability of the self-healing mechanism. Agents possess three characteristics including local views, decentr...
متن کاملAdaptive Distributed Consensus Control for a Class of Heterogeneous and Uncertain Nonlinear Multi-Agent Systems
This paper has been devoted to the design of a distributed consensus control for a class of uncertain nonlinear multi-agent systems in the strict-feedback form. The communication between the agents has been described by a directed graph. Radial-basis function neural networks have been used for the approximation of the uncertain and heterogeneous dynamics of the followers as well as the effect o...
متن کاملOptimization of majority protocol for controlling transactions concurrency in distributed databases by multi-agent systems
In this paper, we propose a new concurrency control algorithm based on multi-agent systems which is an extension of majority protocol. Then, we suggest a clustering approach to get better results in reliability, decreasing message passing and algorithm’s runtime. Here, we consider n different transactions working on non-conflict data items. Considering execution efficiency of some different...

A generalized simplified model for describing the dynamic behavior of distributed parameter systems is proposed. The various specific characteristics of gain and phase angle of distributed parameter systems are investigated from frequency response formulation and complex plane representation of the proposed simplified model. The complex plane investigation renders some important inequality cons...
متن کاملMultiagent Systems Without Agents - Mirror-Holons for the Compilation and Enactment of Communication Structures
It is widely accepted in Distributed Artificial Intelligence that a crucial property of artificial agents is their autonomy. Whereas agent autonomy enables features of agent-based applications like flexibility, robustness and emergence of novel solutions, autonomy might be also the reason for undesired or even chaotic agent behavior. As a conceptual approach to the solution for this “autonomy d...
