This paper describes the application of an organic programming language Gaea in programming complex and exible multi-agent systems. We consider a soccer game as an example. Using organic programming, we can program soccer players in an extended version of a subsumption architecture, called a dynamic subsumption architecture, which is more exible and eecient than the original one.

Innovation is a key driver in today’s high technology businesses. But what is innovation? And what does it take to turn a good idea into a business success story? In this talk I’ll take a look at a number of innovative products and show what’s made them into winners. And by using ARM as an example, I’ll describe how a business can be built around innovation and how ARM developed a unique busine...

The sharply increased complexity of multi-core systems has motivated the architecture of Networks-on-Chip (NoC) to evolve from 2D to 3D. With the objective of optimizing 3D NoC system for specific applications, a new mapping scheme with the goal of reducing signal TSVs and peak temperature is proposed in this paper. The interlayer communication is optimized, which facilitates reduction of signa...

this paper deals with leader-following and leaderless consensus problems of high-order multi-input/multi-output (mimo) multi-agent systems with unknown nonlinear dynamics in the presence of uncertain external disturbances. the agents may have different dynamics and communicate together under a directed graph. a distributed adaptive method is designed for both cases. the structures of the contro...

We present a multi-document summarizer, MEAD, which generates summaries using cluster centroids produced by a topic detection and tracking system. We describe two new techniques, a centroid-based summarizer, and an evaluation scheme based on sentence utility and subsumption. We have applied this evaluation to both single and multiple document summaries. Finally, we describe two user studies tha...

The purpose of this paper is to construct a mode! of actions ar,d events suited to reasoning about domains involving multiple agents or dynamic environments. A mode! is constructed that provides for simultaneous action, and the kind of facts necessary for reasoning about such actions are described. A model-bssed foul O~~Z~J~J~OIC.T is introduced to describe how actions affect the world. No fram...

This paper presents an online two-stage Q-learning based multi-agent (MA) controller for load frequency control (LFC) in an interconnected multi-area multi-source power system integrated with distributed energy resources (DERs). The proposed control strategy consists of two stages. The first stage is employed a PID controller which its parameters are designed using sine cosine optimization (SCO...

Multi-Processor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) architectures have become a very attractive solution for the new consumer multimedia embedded market (Wolf 2004). Although MPSoCs promise to significantly improve the processing capabilities and versatility of embedded systems, one major problem in their current and future design is the effectiveness of the interconnection mechanisms between the internal c...

this paper is concerned with the consensus tracking problem of high order mimo nonlinear multi-agent systems. the agents must follow a leader node in presence of unknown dynamics and uncertain external disturbances. the communication network topology of agents is assumed to be a fixed undirected graph. a distributed adaptive control method is proposed to solve the consensus problem utilizing re...
