Adaptability is regarded as an essential capability for negotiating agent to deal with dynamic environments. In current literatures, however, little attention has been paid on improving this capability. This paper presents a new agent architecture to support adaptive negotiation, and discusses the mechanisms of protocol parsing and strategy generation in detail. An experiment is carried out on ...

The data acquisition system developed for the JADE experiment at PETRA, DESY includes the facility to use software to filter out background events. The design, implementation, testing and experience gained are discussed.

This paper deals with the application of a multi agent system (MAS) for service restoration in distributed power systems. In this paper, the part of the service restoration process which deals with restoring power to consumers in case of an outage, is considered. A restoration strategy based on agent technology has been formulated. This strategy proposes a method for prioritizing certain consum...

In the ICS, WUT a platform for simulation of cooperation of physical and virtual mobile agents is under development. The paper describes the motivation of the research, an organization of the platform, a model of agent, and the principles of design of the platform. Several experimental simulations are briefly described.

Long-term preservation of data and software of large experiments and detectors in high energy physics is of utmost importance to secure the heritage of (mostly unique) data and to allow advanced physics (re-)analyses at later times. Summarising the work of an international study group, motivation, use cases and technical details are given for an organised effort to secure and enable future use ...

OBJECTIVES In August 2008 the British reality TV star Jade Goody made public her diagnosis of cervical cancer. In February 2009 it was announced that she was terminally ill and she died a few weeks later. A surge in cervical screening attendances associated with these events was widely reported. This paper aims to quantify the size of that effect across England, its duration, and whether it aff...

This paper discusses in detail important analysis and design issues emerged during the development of an agent-based transportation e-market. This discussion is based on concepts coming from the AMCIS methodology and the JADE framework. The AMCIS methodology is specifically tailored to the analysis and design of cooperative information agent-based systems, while it supports both the levels of t...
