The importance and attraction of the Multi-Agent System (MAS) topic are increased, nowadays. The techniques for the modeling of such systems are indivisible part of their software processes. They have to be applied with emphasis on the special requirements or properties of Multi-Agent Systems, e.g. autonomy of elements, intelligence of elements. This paper describes the ideas and methods to mod...

Agents engage in deliberation dialogues to collectively decide on a course of action. To solve conflicts of opinion that arise, they can question claims and supply arguments. Existing models fail to capture the interplay between the provided arguments as well as successively selecting a winner from the proposals. This paper introduces a general framework for agent deliberation dialogues that us...

In our paper we are presenting a socio-cultural model of the student as the main actor of a virtual learning environment. The model is part of a larger project DANTE – Socio-Cultural Models implemented through multi-agent architecture for e-learning – that has as main objective the development of a model for the virtual education system, student centred, that facilitates the learning through co...

The use of the agent/multi-agent system paradigm has increased sharply as an important field of research within the Artificial Intelligence area. In recent times, the application of this paradigm seems appropriate for solving complex problems which require intelligence and bounded response times. This paper presents Simba : an architecture based on Artis agents as its main component for the dev...

In this paper, we consider intelligence as an explicit requirement in modern information systems and introduce intelligence engineering as the application of a systematic and disciplined approach to the development, operation, and maintenance the intelligence. After categorizing intelligence sub-characteristics based on an extensive quantitative analysis, we choose learning as the most frequent...

living. services and applications to people: autonomy, distribution, adaptation, and responsiveness are key characteristics of AmI computing components.2 Researchers working on the Home sERvices for specialised elderly Assisted living (HERA) project (w3.mi.parisdescartes. fr/hera), supported by the AAL Joint Programme (www.aal-europe.eu), built an AAL system to provide cost-effective specialize...

Agent Chameleons provides virtual agents powered by real intelligence, delivering next generation autonomic entities that can seamlessly migrate, mutate and evolve on their journey between and within physical and digital information spaces.

The ultimate goal of artificial intelligence (AI) research is to create a system with human level intelligence. Many researchers conceded that human-like interaction in a social context to be critical for human-like intelligence to emerge. Artificial life (AL) is a branch of AI to simulate the process of evolution and interaction in natural world using multi-agent systems. This suggests that AL...

Software agents represent a radical departure from earlier monolithic approaches to artificial intelligence by introducing intelligence in small packages in many different places. For each instance of potential aiding there are two questions: 1can a soRware agent perform the task? and 2can the agent’s assistance contribute to team performance? Our research addresses these two issues by demonstr...

This paper presents the application of fundamental Artificial Intelligence algorithms for the realization of programs capable of effectively playing the game of Reversi. This application has been developed as a final project for the course of Artificial Intelligence, held in the academic year 2012/2013 at the Engineering Faculty of the University of Salerno, Italy. Several agents have been deve...
