Agent oriented software engineering (AOSE) is an emerging field in computer science  and  proposes some systematic ideas for multi agent systems analysis, implementation and maintenance. Despite the various methodologies introduced in the agent-oriented software engineering, the main challenges are defects in different aspects of methodologies. According to the defects resulted from weaknesses ...

Intentions, an integral part of the mental state of an agent, play an important role in determining the behaviour of rational agents as they seek to attain their goals. In this paper, a formalization of intention based on rational commitment is presented. The formalization is based on a branching-time possible-worlds semantics for beliefs, goals, and intentions, upon which conditions are impose...

agent technology is an emerging and promising research area in software technology, which increasingly contributes to the development of value-added information systems for large healthcare organizations due to its capability to automatically modify themselves in response to changes in their operating environment. multi agent system (mas) approach is the construction of a complex system as a se...

the majority of patients with glioblastoma multiforme (gbm) suffer dismal outcomes. adopting a broader, multi-mechanistic, multi-agent approach targeting gbm using readily available and fairly benign agents in combination with standard therapy may improve outcomes. such agents include fluoxetine, fenofibrate, cimetidine, citrulline, valacyclovir, 1,3 1-6 beta glucan, and tadalafil, among others...
