A Multi-Agent Implementation of Social Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we present a multi-agent system implementing a fully distributed Social Network System supporting user profiles as FOAF profiles. This system is built around the idea that users should be the sole owners of the information they provide (either consciously or unconsciously) and addresses privacy issues by design, also minimizing the amount of information users have to disclose in order to make new friends. Users are represented by agents that both mediate access to private data and proactively negotiate with other agents in order to extend their user’s social network. We also present the distributed connection discovery algorithm used by the agents and detail the representation of data in the users’ profiles used to support the algorithm. The design is rather agnostic about the layer responsible for the communication technology; here we present a possible implementation on the top of the HDS software framework. Keywords; Middleware for distributed social systems, social networks, multi-agent systems

Adaptive Leader-Following and Leaderless Consensus of a Class of Nonlinear Systems Using Neural Networks
This paper deals with leader-following and leaderless consensus problems of high-order multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) multi-agent systems with unknown nonlinear dynamics in the presence of uncertain external disturbances. The agents may have different dynamics and communicate together under a directed graph. A distributed adaptive method is designed for both cases. The structures of the contro...

Guiding vehicles to their destination under dynamic traffic conditions is an important topic in the field of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS). Nowadays, many complex systems can be controlled by using multi agent systems. Adaptation with the current condition is an important feature of the agents. In this research, formulation of dynamic guidance for vehicles has been investigated based...
متن کاملLoad-Frequency Control: a GA based Bayesian Networks Multi-agent System
Bayesian Networks (BN) provides a robust probabilistic method of reasoning under uncertainty. They have been successfully applied in a variety of real-world tasks but they have received little attention in the area of load-frequency control (LFC). In practice, LFC systems use proportional-integral controllers. However since these controllers are designed using a linear model, the nonlinearities...
