The book " Human Cognition and Social Agent Technology " is a compilation of many researchers’ works. It discusses combination aspects of human cognition with social agent technology. If you are interested in how to design social agent with the perspective of human cognition, this book will help you, to not only find the trend of the interdisciplinary areas research, but also the methodology fo...

The demand for mobility in modern societies leads to the development of smaller and wireless networked computational devices. The resulting service environments for future mobile service networks will be complex. The individual character of future services requires highly flexible service infrastructures and development frameworks. We propose agent technology for the implementation of mobile se...

Mobile Agent is a type of software system which acts “intelligently” on one’s behalf with the feature of autonomy, learning ability and most importantly mobility. Now mobile agents are gaining interest in the research community. In this article mobile agents will be addressed as tools for mobile computing. Mobile agents have been used in applications ranging from network management to informati...

This paper illustrates three agent technologies deployed in the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) target tracking domain. These capabilities enable: (1) coordination of the tracking of multiple targets among a set of UAVs, (2) identification of the best subset of assigned UAVs from which to collect location information, and (3) evaluation of location information accuracy. These capabilities aid the...

Firms are seeking competitive advantages through supply chain management (SCM) to stay competitive in today’s global market. An inevitable endeavor of SCM is to promote information transparency that enables firms to coordinate supply chain activities efficiently to better meet ever-changing customer demand. Effective SCM requires that the underlying information technology infrastructure of the ...

NASA's drive toward realizing higher levels of autonomy, in both its ground and space systems, is supporting an active and growing interest in agent technology. This paper will address the expanding research in this exciting technology area. As examples of current work, the Lights-Out Ground Operations System (LOGOS), under prototyping at the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), and the spacecra...

In this study we Introduce a three dimensional algorithm for ontology matching problem by comparing ontologies concepts from three dimensions (i) matching concepts based on name similarity (ii) matching concepts based on content similarity (iii) matching concepts based on relationship similarity. By comparing concepts from three dimensions we can trust our result since; the same concepts may be...

Machine Translation involves multiple phases including morphological, syntax and semantic analysis of source and target languages. Despite there are numerous approaches to machine translations, handling of semantics has been an unsolved research challenge. We have been researching to exploit power of multiagent Systems technology for machine translation by extending our rule-based machine trans...

A competition between two or more technologies for becoming the dominant technological standard is a regular occurrence and some popular examples include media formats, Internet browsers, operating systems, game consoles etc. This study introduces an Analytical Framework for Technological Standardization (AFTS) that helps analyze competitors involved in a technical standard competition. This pa...

Emerging agent-based systems offer new means of effectively addressing complex decision processes and enabling solutions to business requirements associated with virtual organizations. Intelligent agents can provide more flexible intelligence/expertise and help the smooth integration of a variety of system types (i.e., Internet applications, customer relationship management, supplier network ma...
