This paper emphasizes the importance of considering the mechanisms that coordinate economic transactions in a decentralized economy, namely the role played by a self-organizing network of entrepreneurial trading firms, for theories aimed at guiding macroeconomic policy. We review a research program that aims to understand how, and how well, trading activities are coordinated in various circumst...

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 ...

Systems biology and cell simulation started together and maintain a controvertible relationship within the scope of global approaches and emergence-driven approaches. Here, we present a multi-agent based model for cell simulation. We describe the whole model creation process, from its scientific project perspective to implementation considerations. The agents interactions model will be particul...

Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) can be designed to improve learning and performance through Pedagogical Agents (PAs) that are designed to foster self-regulated learning through interactions and exchange of information with human learners. PAs are intelligent and follow rational behaviors, but to adaptively track students’ progress, they need to be systematically and specifically designed. Ho...

In this paper, the application and the need for agent-based techniques to design manufacturing control systems is presented. The sensible agent architecture has been proposed to allow agents exhibit dynamic, adaptive autonomy. This allows for the creation of dynamic, self-organizing entities in the implementation. The application of the sensible agents to prototype a manufacturing scenario is p...
