The Virtual Secretary (ViSe) is a kind of intelligent agent that could assist its user in major secretarial work. Users give the orders of what to do, while agents gure out how to do and carry out the tasks. This paper presents the ViSe agents in two aspects: (1) to construct individual agent on three intelligence levels: knowledge-base level, learning level and cooperation level; and (2) to mo...

In this work the effect of the accuracy of a FAE detonation modeling on the generated blast wave is investigated. First, a one-dimensional numerical simulation with a reduced chemical kinetics of C2H2-O2-Ar, involving 25 elementary reactions, is used as the base model. The properties of the blast calculated with this model is compared with those of simpler models, the similarity solution of Tay...

The paper describes design and verification problems of agent-based systems. An agent-based system for support decision making for physicians is proposed. Knowledge base is represented by a propositional logic formulas and we use deductive reasoning. Model of the system is given in Statecharts visual language. Required properties of the system can be given as formulas of the branching-time temp...

in this paper, a formal model for antivirus update agent system is presented based on mobile agent technology and predicate/transition petri nets. the mobile agent system contains two mobile agents called dca and una. it sends out agents to update antivirus on client computers in a network. each agent takes on a specified responsibility. first, dca roams through the network and check the last d...

warranty as a kind of service contract today plays a role key in business and legal transactions. in this paper, we present a manufacturer, an agent and a customer's model under different service contracts suggestions. the manufacturer's profit is maximized by determining sale price, warranty period and warranty price. in addition we obtain optimal maintenance cost or repair cost for ...

environment. Herald is suitable for scenarios where the process could be modeled as a tree: starting from the root node the collection of items is distributed along the nodes where they can be processed, forwarded to other nodes, and duplicated if necessary. Herald assigns a specific software agent to each node of the tree which participates into the dispatching process according to the knowled...

establishment of help desk is to provide technical support to users when they encounter technical problems related to hardware, software, application programs and network connections. However, due to resources problem, in particular the lack of help desk staff, users often have to wait for a considerably long time before their enquiries and problems are answered and solved. To relieve user's di...
