Everything can be Agent ! ( Extended Abstract )

چکیده
Most Multi-Agent System designers use several notions – like “agent”, “artifact”, “object”, etc. – to classify the entities involved in simulations. These notions require different methodologies, data structures and algorithms. In this paper, we show that the representation of entities can be favorably unified. As a consequence, the design and implementation process are made easier, since the designer has no longer to assign a fixed type to each entity during model construction. The implementation handles entities through an unified data structure and algorithm, and is therefore lightweight and more maintainable. Such an unification is performed without efficiency loss in a concrete simulation methodology called Ioda. According to common sense, we propose to call such an unified entity simply “agent”!

Commitment Abstraction for Efficient Planning and Coordination in Stochastic Multi-agent Systems (Extended Abstract of Doctoral Thesis)
This thesis is motivated by the vast complexity of cooperative stochastic multi-agent planning, where agents can affect the transitions and rewards of one another, but in order to coordinate their interactions effectively, must account for the uncertainty in these actions. To combat this complexity, I exploit interaction structure in weakly-coupled problems to compute coordinated agent policies...

The aim of this study is to prepare novel sorbitol based extended release tablets by melt dispersion method using carbamazepine as a model drug. Carbamazepine was melted along with sugar alcohol to get melt dispersion granules (MGDs) and was characterized by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), powder X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and solubility study. The physical and chemical parameters...
متن کاملRationalisation of Profiles of Abstract Argumentation Frameworks: Extended Abstract
We review a recently introduced model in which each of a number of agents is endowed with an abstract argumentation framework reflecting her individual views regarding a given set of arguments. A question arising in this context is whether the diversity of views observed in such a situation is consistent with the assumption that every individual argumentation framework is induced by a combinati...
