Cooperation is significantly influenced by participants’ awareness of relevant information. The objective of this paper is to propose a methodology to design and develop applications that assist individuals to identify their awareness. Through extending Cooperative management Methodology for Enterprise Networks (CoMEN), this article introduces Policy-based Awareness Management (PAM) a software ...

Abstract: In this paper, we develop a methodology for dynamic resource sharing in multimedia networks with competing traffic types. We introduce dynamic queueing models for multimedia traffic types, as well as approximate linearized dynamic queueing models. We formulate the problem as an dynamic non-cooperative Nash game and state the conditions for non-cooperative equilibrium. Finally, we prop...

In this paper, we illustrate our methodology for academic teaching, based on cooperative learning paradigm, which also relies on cutting edge elearning techniques. We use Web 2.0 resources to fulfill requirements for an interactive-constructivistic “learning space”, where blended-teaching paradigm may be proficiently applied. We extend an existing Free/Open Source Software Learning Management S...

This paper reports our progress in applying multiagent systems analysis and design in the area of cooperative robotics. In this paper, we apply the Multiagent Systems Engineering (MaSE) methodology to design a team of autonomous, heterogeneous search and rescue robots. MaSE provides a top-down approach to building cooperative robotic systems instead of the bottom up approach employed in most ro...

The paper presents an agent-based engineering system developed for mobile devices. The proposed system has been used for constructing a wireless tourist guide application that incorporates cooperative agents with the learning capabilities. It is shown how to construct cooperative agents with a goal driven design using a case-based reasoning methodology . The resulting architecture has been test...
