A Single-Agent Architecture Supports Decision Making

Knowledge Management to Support Situation-aware Risk Management in Autonomous, Self-managing Agents

We present a novel approach to enable decision-making in a highly distributed multiagent environment where individual agents need to act in an autonomous fashion. Our architecture framework integrates risk management, knowledge management, and agent deliberation to enable sophisticated, autonomous decision-making. Instead of a centralized knowledge repository, our approach supports a highly dis...

Social Coordination in Architecture for Physically-Grounding Agents

We propose a social coordination mechanism that is realized in architecture for physically-grounding agents and supports mass-users' decision making in daily lives. By social coordination, we mean mutual concession by automatic negotiation of software agents, rather than verbal and explicit communication directly done by human users. One of prerequisite infrastructures for such electronic negot...

B-Cart based Agent System for B2B EC

To realize the implementation of agent based B2B e-Commerce, we design the b-Cart based B2B agent framework. B-Cart implies a buyer’s shopping cart which a buyer carries to the seller’s sites. The prototype agent, named AgentB, is designed to provide an effective architecture for employee’s direct desktop purchasing from multiple external seller’s e-marketplaces. In this paper, we propose the t...

A Context-aware Architecture for Mental Model Sharing through Semantic Movement in Intelligent Agents

Recent studies in multi-agent systems are paying increasingly more attention to the paradigm of designing intelligent agents with human inspired concepts. One of the main cognitive concepts driving the core of many recent approaches in multi agent systems is shared mental models. In this paper, we propose an architecture for sharing mental models based on a new concept called semantic movement....
