This document describes an overview of a multi-agent system formed by a team of gold miners to compete in the Multi-Agent Programming Contest 2007 (the Gold Miners scenario). The objective is to test and improve Jason , the interpreter for an agent programming language used to implement the MAS. Jason [2, 4] is an agent platform based on an extension of an agent-oriented programming language ca...

Environmental protection has become the focus of world-wide research in the gold mining industry and favours the development of environmentaly sound processes, such as the Coal Gold Agglomeration (CGA) process, which is an alternative to existing gold processing methods, such as cyanidation and mercury amalgamation. The CGA process was developed and patented by the British Petroleum (BP) resear...

In this comprehensive review, the main aspects of using Au/CeO2 catalysts in oxidation reactions are considered. The influence of the preparation methods and synthetic parameters, as well as the characteristics of the ceria support (presence of doping cations, oxygen vacancies concentration, surface area, redox properties, etc.) in the dispersion and chemical state of gold are revised. The prop...

The paper approaches certain aspects regarding the involvement of the banking and industrial capital in the development and modernization of gold mining during the existence of „Mica” Company (1920-1948). The paper presents the political and economic factors contributing to the positive results in the field. It also provides examples of the way in which the banking and industrial capital was in...

This document gives an overview of a multi-agent system formed by a team of gold miners to compete in the Multi-Agent Programming Contest 2007 (the “gold miners” scenario). One of the main objectives has been to test and improve Jason, the interpreter for an agent programming language used to implement the MAS. Jason [2, 4] is an agent platform based on an extension of an agent-oriented program...
