An Observation Framework for Multi-Agent Systems
2009
Existing middleware platforms for multi-agent systems (MAS) do not provide general support for observation. On the other hand, observation is considered to be an important mechanism needed for realizing effective and efficient coordination of agents. This paper describes a framework called Agent Observable Environment (AOE) for observation-based interaction in MAS. The framework provides 1) possibility to model MAS components with RDFbased observable soft-bodies, 2) support for both query and publish/subscribe style ontology-driven observation, and 3) ability to restrict the visibility of observable information using observation rules. Additionally, we report on an implementation of the fra…
Biometric Features for Mobile Agents Ownership
2005
Multi-Agent System (MAS) architectures can be used for e-Business application due their flexibility, scalability and interoperability. Agent ownership implies that a specific person or organization (the owner) is responsible for the agent's actions. Agents, whose ownership was certainly fixed, could operate on behalf of their owner to make transactions, to buy or sell products. Security requirements in the agent ownership setting process are the identification of the owner and the protection of the identification information carried by an agent. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of using biometrics in mobile agent systems for owner authentication. Biometric features can be used …
Introducing the Concept of Hyperactivity in Multi Agent Systems
2013
International audience; Software Agents are no longer the simple communication gateways for devices to interconnect using one or more networks. With Multi Agent Systems contributing in a wide spectrum of intelligent systems, the Agents are in a more proactive role than just being responsible for passing messages between their respective base systems. Agent Relation Charts and the Hyperactive Transaction Model in general is one of the recent attempts of developing a multi-view design model for Multi Agent Systems. The model has made a clear distinction in the regular and intelligent activities of an agent. Based on these differences, the agents are classified into three main categories named…
Indeterminacy Reduction in Agent Communication Using a Semantic Language
2015
In recent years, the importance of vagueness and uncertainty in the messages exchanged between agents has been highlighted, mainly due to the ubiquitous nature of the (artificial or human) agents’ communication. The imprecision in the communication becomes more significant when the autonomy of the agents increases or the number of exchanged messages for a communicative goal is limited. In this paper we conjugate ideas drawn from situation semantics theory, human communication, and the multi-agent systems (MAS) field to reduce the impact of vagueness and uncertainty present in the communication. The main advances are achieved with the help of context information, collaboration and reinforcem…
Data-Driven Interactive Multiobjective Optimization Using a Cluster-Based Surrogate in a Discrete Decision Space
2019
In this paper, a clustering based surrogate is proposed to be used in offline data-driven multiobjective optimization to reduce the size of the optimization problem in the decision space. The surrogate is combined with an interactive multiobjective optimization approach and it is applied to forest management planning with promising results. peerReviewed
