MASQ: towards an integral approach to interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we describe MASQ (Multi-Agent Systems based on Quadrants), a model that defines four perspectives over an agent-based interaction according to two axes: internal/external and individual/collective. With MASQ, we mainly show how to integrate the essential elements that intervene in the description of the interaction process such as agents, environments, organizations and institutions. We also discuss some methodological aspects of such an approach and show that it is possible to apply it to build practical models.

A formal approach to MASQ
MASQ (Multi-Agent Systems based on Quadrants) is a generic meta-model that proposes an integral view of interaction in a multi-agent system. It defines four perspectives according to two axes: internal/external and individual/collective. This paper identifies a set of MASQ principles and analyzes how a formal model can be built based on them. We outline the most important design choices that ha...
متن کاملTowards an Integral Approach of Organizations in Multi-Agent Systems
AbstRAct In this chapter, we stress the importance of thinking a MAS in all its aspects (agents, environment, interactions, organizations, and institutions), using a more integral vision. We show that a genuine organizational approach has to take into account both the environment and the institutional part of MAS societies. Then, we propose the MASQ (Multi-Agent System based on Quadrants) meta-...
متن کاملNURBS-Based Isogeometric Analysis Method Application to Mixed-Mode Computational Fracture Mechanics
An interaction integral method for evaluating mixed-mode stress intensity factors (SIFs) for two dimensional crack problems using NURBS-based isogeometric analysis method is investigated. The interaction integral method is based on the path independent J-integral. By introducing a known auxiliary field solution, the mixed-mode SIFs are calculated simultaneously. Among features of B-spline basis...
متن کاملClinical utility of the Mood and Anxiety Symptom Questionnaire (MASQ) in a sample of young help-seekers
BACKGROUND The overlap between Depression and Anxiety has led some researchers to conclude that they are manifestations of a broad, non-specific neurotic disorder. However, others believe that they can be distinguished despite sharing symptoms of general distress. The Tripartite Model of Affect proposes an anxiety-specific, a depression-specific and a shared symptoms factor. Watson and Clark de...
متن کاملTowards an Analytical Model for Film Cooling Prediction using Integral Turbulent Boundary layer
The objective of this work is to develop deep theoretical methods that are based on the solution of the integral boundary layer equations for investigating film cooling in liquid rocket engine. The integral model assumes that heat is transferred from hot free stream gas to the liquid film both by convection and radiation. The mass is transferred to the free srteam gas by the well-known blowing ...
