Uwe Köckemann (2016): Constraint-based Methods for Human-aware Planning. Örebro Studies in Technology 72. As more robots and sensors are deployed in work and home environments, there is a growing need for these devices to act with some degree of autonomy to fulfill their purpose. Automated planning can be used to synthesize plans of action that achieve this. The main challenge addressed in this...

Achievement motivation has been identified as a relevant criterion to assess athletic talent. In the context of talent selection decisions, popular use self-report questionnaires presented higher risks social desirability. Consequently, shift towards more robust methods such assessment achievement-motivated behavior with coach-rating scale in individual sports was suggested. 1 The purpose this ...

Despite researchers’ efforts to develop models for successful aging, there is still no academic consensus on the definition of the term [3,4]. There are three main explanatory models on successful old age: the Rowe and Kahn model [5] The Socio-Emotional Selectivity1 and the Corrective and Preventive Proactivity [6]. We also highlight researches focused on the subjective perception of the elderl...

Electronic Institutions are regulated environments populated by autonomous software agents that perform tasks on behalf of users. 3D Electronic Institutions extend EI with 3D Virtual Worlds, which provide an inmersive user interface so that humans can observe their agents’ behaviors. In this manner, they represent a virtual analogy to real institutions. We propose to gain on realism on this ana...

An important trend for the future of health technology will be the increasing use of intelligent agent software for medical applications. As the complexity of situations faced by both patients and health care providers grows, conventional interfaces that rely on users to manually transfer data and manually perform each problem-solving step, won't be able to keep up. This article describes how s...

In this paper we will discuss how some features of the new logic programming language DALI for agents and multi-agent systems are suitable to programming agents equipped with planning capabilities. We will discuss the design and implementation of an agent capable to perform STRIPS-like planning, and we will propose a significant example. In particular, a DALI agent, which is capable of complex ...
