In this paper we present a calculus for the execution of Multi-context system with its corresponding semantics. This calculus is general enough to support different kinds of MCSs and particularly, we show how a graded BDI agent can be mapped to the language proposed. The graded BDI agent model is based on multi-context systems and is able to deal with graded mental attitudes. Taking advantage o...

We demonstrate an intelligent personal assistant agent that has been developed to aid a busy knowledge worker in managing time commitments and performing tasks. The PExA agent draws on a diverse set of AI technologies that are linked within the SPARK BDI agent framework. We focus on our agent’s ability to provide assistance within the context of current user activities, based on its recognition...

Much work has been done in the area of Mobile Agents. However, the majority of this research has emphasized “mobile” and largely ignored “agent”. This paper attempts to rectify this through the presentation of research that combines the areas of Intentional Agents and Mobility, namely the construction of Mobile BDI Agents.

Working with the energies that produce and maintain life is referred to as biodynamic farming. It a type of organic farming using inputs made from herbs, minerals, raw materials processed in complex ways, then applied soil crops minute doses. However, what distinguishes makes use an astrological calendar determine most auspicious times for planting, cultivating, harvesting. collaborates energy ...

Three-dimensional (3D) tissue cultures are replacing conventional two-dimensional (2D) cultures for applications in cancer drug development. However, direct comparisons of in vitro 3D models relative to in vivo models derived from the same cell lines have not been reported because of the lack of sensitive optical probes that can extract high-content information from deep inside living tissue. H...

canola production is an important alternative for agricultural policy-makers in iran to reduce dependency on the imported vegetable oils. nevertheless, the canola planted area is only increasing at a slow pace, indicating a low willingness-to-accept of farmers. the general aim of this study was to determine the factors influencing the canola adoption in the kermanshah province in western iran. ...

Time-varying forces and accelerations occur in daily life, and are commonly experienced, for example, in an elevator and in aircraft, railway trains, and automobiles. All of these situations involve motion of the whole body transmitted through a seat, or from the floor in the case of a standing person, where the human response is commonly related to the relative motion of body parts, organs, an...

The potential of pervasive mobile systems lies in the integration of applications and services available on mobile devices. These services must be built on the premises of contextawareness, such that the application takes advantage of environmental information to improve its performance. The challenge is to process more environmental information with the limited computational resources availabl...
