چکیده

We consider a multi-agent system where each agent is equipped with a Bayesian network, and present an open framework for the agents to agree on a possible consensus network. The framework builds on formal argumentation, and unlike previous solutions on graphical consensus belief, it is sufficiently general to allow for a wide range of possible agreements to be identified.

TR-01-06: Fusing Bayes Nets using Formal Argumentation in Multi-agent Systems

We consider a multi-agent system where each agent is equipped with a Bayesian network, and present an open framework for the agents to compromise on a possible consensus network. The framework builds on formal argumentation, and unlike previous solutions on graphical consensus belief, it is sufficiently general to allow for a wide range of compromises to be identified.

On the use of multi-agent systems for the monitoring of industrial systems

The objective of the current paper is to present an intelligent system for complex process monitoring, based on artificial intelligence technologies. This system aims to realize with success all the complex process monitoring tasks that are: detection, diagnosis, identification and reconfiguration. For this purpose, the development of a multi-agent system that combines multiple intelligences su...

Load-Frequency Control: a GA based Bayesian Networks Multi-agent System

Bayesian Networks (BN) provides a robust probabilistic method of reasoning under uncertainty. They have been successfully applied in a variety of real-world tasks but they have received little attention in the area of load-frequency control (LFC). In practice, LFC systems use proportional-integral controllers. However since these controllers are designed using a linear model, the nonlinearities...

An Application of Formal Argumentation: Fusing Bayes Nets in MAS

We consider agents in a multi-agent system, each equipped with a Bayesian network model (BN) of its environment. We want the agents to reach consensus on one compromise network, which may not be identical to a single one of the BNs initially held by the agents, but rather a combination of aspects from each BN. The task can be characterized as the need for agents to agree on a specific state (a ...

Modeling Lateral Communication in Holonic Multi Agent Systems

Agents, in a multi agent system, communicate with each other through the process of exchanging messages which is called dialogue. Multi agent organization is generally used to optimize agents’ communications. Holonic organization demonstrates a self-similar recursive and hierarchical structure in which each holon may include some other holons. In a holonic system, lateral communication occurs b...
