Social and organizational aspects of agency have become a major issue in the Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) domain. Recent applications of MAS on Web and Ambient Computing enforce the need of using these dimensions in the programming of MAS. The aim is to ensure the governance of such systems while preserving their decentralization and openness. In this talk, we present how multi-agent organisations...

this paper will investigate the optimum portfolio for an investor, taking into account 5 criteria. the mean variance model of portfolio optimization that was introduced by markowitz includes two objective functions; these two criteria, risk and return do not encompass all of the information about investment; information like annual dividends, s&p star ranking and return in later years which...

This paper discusses the issues in amalgamating multiple programming paradigms in the logic programming language, Prolog. It is shown that multiple paradigms can be incorporated without disturbing logic programming language features and efficiency. It also introduces a new programming paradigm called the relation-oriented paradigm. The research results are reflected in the implementation of the...

A type system is introduced for a generic Object Oriented programming language in order to infer resource upper bounds. A sound and complete characterization of the set of polynomial time computable functions is obtained. As a consequence, the heap-space and the stack-space requirements of typed programs are also bounded polynomially. This type system is inspired by previous works on Implicit C...
