Technology innovations create possibilities to capture exposure-related data at a great depth and breadth. Considering, though, the substantial hurdles involved in collecting individual for whole populations, this study introduces first approach of simulating human movement interaction behaviour, using Agent Based Modelling (ABM). A city scale ABM was developed urban Thessaloniki, Greece that f...

With the rapid development of information technology , adopting advanced dist ributed com2 puting technology to construct robot control system is becoming an effective approach gradually. This paper proposes a dist ributed loosely coupled software architecture based on Agent and COR2 BA to control multiple robots. This model provides the robot user with agent control units at the semantic level...

Mobile agent technology has received a rapidly growing attention over the last few years. A number of mobile agent systems are under development in academic as well as industrial environments, there are already various moves to popularize and standardize mobile agent facilities and architectures. It has been argued that mobile agents provide certain advantages as compared to traditional approac...

Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) is a powerful paradigm for distributed heterogeneous information systems when representation and reasoning using knowledge is needed. According to the Agent Technology Roadmap [3], which is the result of AgentLink, there are a number of broad technological challenges for research and development over the next decade in the agent technology. Within the presented work we...

GridFerret system is a grid resource discovery and monitoring system which bases on mobile agent, it applies mobile agent technology to grid environment. The existed resources in the grid environment, the status information of grid computing nodes, the optimized information of current grid environment can be provided by GridFerret system, the introduction of mobile agent technology reduces the ...

Significant advances in the development of agent technology have spurred the development of agent-oriented information systems (AOIS). Nonetheless, accounts on the benefits and shortcomings of state-of-the-art agent technology when employed for the deployment of AOIS for electronic commerce are scant. The purpose of this work is to report on a case study that attempts at shedding some light on ...

challenges and opportunities that this area is or will be facing. The most important feature of IAT’99 was that it emphasized a multifaceted, holistic view of this emerging technology, from its computational foundations in terms of models, methodologies, and tools for developing a variety of embodiments of agent-based systems to its practical impact on tackling realworld problems. Much work wen...

A prerequisite of participating in an enterprise system is the ability to cope with the rigorous demands experienced within the system. In order to cope with these demands, a number of infrastructure support services are available to assist developers in their creation. A key obstacle to the widespread deployment of agent technology is the relative immaturity of agent technology with regard to ...

In recent years, the agent technology has evolved rapidly along with a growing number of agent architectures, theories and languages. Computer science and engineering communities considered agent technology as one of the most important and active area of research and development. Agent oriented software engineering has numerous applications in different areas such as information management, spa...
