Robust Networked Multiagent Optimization: Designing Agents to Repair Their Own Utility Functions

Design of Observer-based H∞ Controller for Robust Stabilization of Networked Systems Using Switched Lyapunov Functions

In this paper, H∞ controller is synthesized for networked systems subject to random transmission delays with known upper bound and different occurrence probabilities in the both of feedback (sensor to controller) and forward (controller to actuator) channels. A remote observer is employed to improve the performance of the system by computing non-delayed estimates of the sates. The closed-loop s...

Agents That Explain Their Own Actions

Computer generated battleeeld agents need to be able to explain the rationales for their actions. Such explanations make it easier to validate agent behavior, and can enhance the eeectiveness of the agents as training devices. This paper describes an explanation capability called Debrief that enables agents implemented in Soar to describe and justify their decisions. Debrief determines the moti...

Software Agents with Concerns of their Own

funds through Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT) with references Abstract We claim that it is possible to have artificial software agents for which their actions and the world they inhabit have first-person or intrinsic meanings. The first-person or intrinsic meaning of an entity to a system is defined as its relation with the system's goals and capabilities, given the properties of t...
