An Algebraic Description of Agency Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multiagent systems are a matter of growing importance in distributed artificial intelligence. Whereas several applications based on multiagent systems have been developed to address disparate fields, little work has been done for the definition of general methodologies to develop multiagent systems. The purpose of this paper is to present a formal description of the first phase of the design of a multiagent system, also called agency. In particular, we formally represent the initial exigency that stimulates the realization of an agency, the availability in terms of agents for constructing the agency, and the matching between the exigency and the availability.

An algebraic calculation method for describing time-dependent processes in electrochemistry – Expansion of existing procedures
In this paper an alternative model allowing the extension of the Debye-Hückel Theory (DHT) considering time dependence explicitly is presented. From the Electro-Quasistatic approach (EQS) introduced in earlier studies time dependent potentials are suitable to describe several phenomena especially conducting media as well as the behaviour of charged particles (ions) in electrolytes. This leads t...
متن کاملBehavioral Modeling and Simulation of Semiconductor Devices and Circuits Using VHDL-AMS
During the past few years, a lot of work has been done on behavioral models and simulation tools. But a need for modeling strategy still remains. The VHDL-AMS language supports the description of analog electronic circuits using Ordinary Differential Algebraic Equations (ODAEs), in addition to its support for describing discrete-event systems. For VHDL-AMS to be useful to the analog design ...
متن کاملOptimal integrated passive/active design of the suspension system using iteration on the Lyapunov equations
In this paper, an iterative technique is proposed to solve linear integrated active/passive design problems. The optimality of active and passive parts leads to the nonlinear algebraic Riccati equation due to the active parameters and some associated additional Lyapunov equations due to the passive parameters. Rather than the solution of the nonlinear algebraic Riccati equation, it is proposed ...

Digital transformers are considered as one of the digital circuits being widely used in signal and data processing systems, audio and video processing, medical signal processing as well as telecommunication systems. Transforms such as Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT), Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) are among the ones being commonly used in this area. As an illu...
متن کاملThe Influence of Agency Costs on Dividend Policy in an Emerging Market: Evidence from the Tehran Stock Exchange
Dividend policy has long been an issue of interest in the financial literature. To date, a number of studies published on agency costs and dividend policy but most of them are on developed markets, It is well known that the emerging markets are quite different from developed markets in all respects. So, the existing published evidence is of limited relevance in identifying the influence of agen...
