چکیده

Modelling and formally specifying agent knowledge required to deal with limited access to resources in a multi-agent situation, is the focus of this paper. Not only the static elements involved but also the dynamic element, namely the behaviour of the system, is explicitly modelled and specified. DESIRE, a formal framework for the design and specification of compositional architectures, is employed for this purpose. A task model of an arbitrary participating competitive agent is presented, together with a model of interaction between agents and the formal specifications. A comparison of this knowledgebased approach and other approaches is presented.

GAME OF COORDINATION FOR BACTERIAL PATTERN FORMATION: A FINITE AUTOMATA MODELLING

In this paper, we use game theory to describe the emergence of self-organization and consequent pattern formation through communicative cooperation in Bacillus subtilis colonies. The emergence of cooperative regime is modelled as an n-player Assurance game, with the bacterial colonies as individual players. The game is played iteratively through cooperative communication, and mediated by exchan...

The resource-constraint project scheduling problem of the project subcontractors in a cooperative environment: Highway construction case study

Large-scale projects often have several activities which are performed by subcontractors with limited multi-resources. Project scheduling with limited resources is one of the most famous problems in the research operations and optimization cases. The resource-constraint project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is a NP-hard problem in which the activities of a project must be scheduled to reduce the p...

Formal Modelling and Verification of Cooperative Ant Behaviour in Event-B

Multi-agent technology is a promising approach to development of complex decentralised systems that dynamically adapt to changing environmental conditions. The main challenge while designing such multi-agent systems is to ensure that reachability of the systemlevel goals emerges through collaboration of autonomous agents despite changing operating conditions. In this paper, we present a case st...
