In this paper, an agent is defined as a triple (S, RS , LS), where S is a multi-hierarchical decision system, RS is a set of rules extracted from S defining values of its decision attributes, and LS is a language which the agent can use to communicate with other agents. LS is built from values of decision attributes in S which are treated as agent’s external attributes. Classification attribute...

A new emergent intelligence approach to the design of smart ecosystems, based on complexity science principles, is introduced and discussed. The ecosystem for resource management defined as a system autonomous decision-making multi-agent systems capable allocate resources, plan orders optimize, coordinate, monitor, control execution plans in real time. enables software agents collectively resol...

Epilepsy Resources and Updates Long-term video-EEG monitoring in the epilepsy monitoring unit (EMU), while generally a safe procedure (1, 2), can be associated with adverse events. The majority of EMUs have experienced falls, status epilepticus, and postictal psychosis during monitoring (3); although rare, fatalities and near-fatalities have also occurred in the EMU (2, 4). Even patients with p...

In a dynamic context, group decisions result as a mixture of agreement and compromise.

We assume that an external chairman, with a complete information about the state of all the components of group, urges o...
