In the same way living creatures follow different behaviours when facing different stimuli, some computing systems are able to benefit from using different computations for each significant situation faced. For example, this strategy is carried out as “working modes” in the Real-Time Systems domain and as “roles” in Multi-Agent Systems theory. This paper presents an extension of the ARTIS agent...

The analysis of voting power in elections has been playing an important role in many traditional social choice problems, where the voting power of an agent is measured by whether the agent is pivotal. In this paper, we introduce two new extensions of such pivotality to measure agents’ voting power in a given profile. The first extension, called hierarchical pivotal sets, captures the voting pow...

Agent specialization as a concept of providing expertise closer to program delivery, was introduced by the Minnesota Cooperative Extension Service as a way to improve the county agent’s ability to work across county lines and across program lines. While the extension agent was still to be a resident community educator working with a broad range of county problems, he/she also would be expected ...

Defensive actions in critical infrastructure environments will increasingly require automated agents to manage the complex, dynamic interactions that occur between operators and malicious actors. Characterizing such agent behavior requires the ability to reason about distributed environments where the state of a channel or process depends on the actions of the opposing sides. This paper describ...

This paper presents an extension of the AGR (Agent-GroupRole) organizational model, called AGRE (AGR + Environment), which includes physical (or simply geometrical) environments. This extension is based on the concept of a space which can be seen either as a physical area or as a social group, and on a clear distinction between an agent and its mode, i.e. the way it appears and interacts into a...

In previous work [8] we proposed an extension for the belief base of AgentSpeak agents based on Description Logic, aiming at enabling agent oriented programming to cope with recently proposed technologies for the Semantic Web. In such an extension an agent belief base contains the definition of complex concepts, besides specific factual knowledge. The foreseen advantages are: (i) more expressiv...

This article addresses an extension of the knowledge modelling approaches, namely to multi-agent systems where communication and coordination are necessary. We propose the notion of competent agent and de ne the basic capabilities of these agents for the extension to be effective. An agent is competent when it is able to reason about its own competence and that of the other agents with which it...
