Autonomous agents modelling other agents: A comprehensive survey and open problems

Autonomous agents modelling other agents: A comprehensive survey and open problems

Much research in artificial intelligence is concerned with the development of autonomous agents that can interact effectively with other agents. An important aspect of such agents is the ability to reason about the behaviours of other agents, by constructing models which make predictions about various properties of interest (such as actions, goals, beliefs) of the modelled agents. A variety of ...

Antifungal agents: Polyene, azole, antimetabolite, other and future agents

Antifungals have always been considered as one of the astonishing discoveries of the 20th century. This is correct, but the real marvel is the development of antifungal resistance in hospitals, communities, and the environment concomitant with their use. Fungal infections have emerged as an important clinical threat, with significant associated morbidity and mortality.  This study is desig...

Modelling Norms for Autonomous Agents

Societies are regulated by norms and, consequently, autonomous agents that want to be part of them must be able to reason about norms. However, no reasoning can be done if agents lack a model of norms that allows them to know how by complying with norms some of their goals might be affected. In this paper, a general model of norms is proposed. By contrast with current models of norms, our model...

Autonomous Agents

Reacting to unpredictable situations is one of the main problems in technical automation. This article introduces two developed framework for decision units for embodied autonomous agents. The models are compared to an existing architecture, the BDI architecture. The basis of the described model is using psychoanalytical concepts. Drives, emotions and wishes are the basics that build a reaction...
