Much work has been done in the area of Mobile Agents. However, the majority of this research has emphasized “mobile” and largely ignored “agent”. This paper attempts to rectify this through the presentation of research that combines the areas of Intentional Agents and Mobility, namely the construction of Mobile BDI Agents.

This study is an attempt to investigate the role of incidental and intentional vocabulary acquisition in addition to the influence of language learning strategy: namely, the use of vocabulary strategy by Iranian EFL learners in learning new vocabularies. Accordingly, this study is two-faceted. First, Part A examines the difference between different modes of presentation, incidental and intentio...

We consider the problem of transformations of logic pro grams without function symbols database logic programs into a special subclass namely linear logic programs Linear logic programs are de ned to be the programs whose rules have at most one intentional atom in their bodies a We investigate linearizability of several syntactically de ned subclasses of programs and present both positive and n...

In the communicative eye gaze such as joint visual attention and gaze alternation, the importance of intentional agency is pointed out. Namely, infants understand others’ intentions and also intentionally gaze at others’ gazing points. In this paper, for investigating the development of the intentional agency that the infant separates desired goals from the actions, we constructed a computation...

-Communication complexity scale (CCS)Brady et al., 2012 [1]was developed to assess the communication of individuals with intellectual disabilities and developmental disabilities who are mostly presymbolic communicators in the context of examiner-child scripted interaction. In the present study, CCS was adapted to assess communication oftwo typically developing children of 1.6 years age in unscr...

Rerouting is a viable and cost-effective approach to decrease the blocking probability in legacy circuit-switched networks. We study lightpath rerouting in optical WDM networks in this paper. First, we investigate two different lightpath rerouting strategies, namely, passive rerouting and intentional rerouting. Passive rerouting means the rerouting of existing lightpaths to accommodate new ligh...

A side effect is a foreseen but not intended consequence of some intended action. Joshua Knobe has discovered that most people judge that a good side effect is not brought about intentionally, but a bad side effect is brought about intentionally. These responses are meant to indicate something about the folk concept of intentional action— namely, that goodness and badness play a role in people'...

When perceiving, explaining, or criticizing human behavior, people distinguish between intentional and unintentional actions. To do so, they rely on a shared folk concept of intentionality. In contrast to past speculative models, this article provides an empirically based model of this concept. Study 1 demonstrates that people agree substantially in their judgments of intentionality, suggesting...
