this paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. in this study, some facts (flexible ac transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. each device here is modeled as ...

Agent Tcl is a transportable-agent system that is under development at Dartmouth College. A transportable agent is a named program that can migrate from machine to machine in a heterogeneous network. Such programs are a powerful tool for implementing information agents since the electronic resources in a user's information space are often distributed across a network and can contain tremendous ...

t is now almost five years since the main international agent standardisation effort FIPA (the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents) was founded. This issue of AgentLink News provides an update on the ongoing FIPA activities including overviews of the new structure of FIPA, recent advances, the current set of specifications, an overview of current open source implementations, and future a...
