Abstract

The Basic Agent is an attempt to create a conscious, mindlike AI artifact embedded in time and functioning in a simulated dynamic environment. The agent integrates temporal planning, temporal reasoning, reactive replanning, action execution, limited natural language understanding and generation, symbolic perception, episodic memory and reflection, and some general knowledge associated with the vocabulary items. A state-change style semantics for action verbs, based on a set of primitive relations, allows convenient integration of the natural language and planning components. The architectural elements of the system and their interaction are described.

An organisation infrastructure for Multi-Agent Systems based on Agent Coordination Contexts
AAMAS '05: Proceedings of the fourth international joint conference on Autonomous agents and multiagent systems

We present an organisation infrastructure for open Multi-Agent Systems built upon a role-based access control model (RBAC), which provides agents with means to enable and control actions toward the other entities in the MAS (agents and resources).In ...
From organisation specification to normative programming in multi-agent organisations
CLIMA'10: Proceedings of the 11th international conference on Computational logic in multi-agent systems

In this paper, we show how we can automatically translate high-level organisation modelling languages into simpler languages based on the idea of normative programming. With this approach, while designers and agents still use a highly abstract ...
Integrating self-organisation into dynamic coalition formation
AAMAS '12: Proceedings of the 11th International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems - Volume 3

In some real systems, e.g., sensor networks, individual agents will often need to form coalitions to accomplish complex tasks. Due to communication or computation constrains, it is infeasible for agents to directly interact with all other peers to form ...
