v-mWater: a 3D virtual market for water rights (demonstration)

چکیده
Most of MAS methodologies and infrastructures do not consider direct human participation even though humans can be seen as autonomous entities (i.e. human agents). Virtual Worlds (VW) provide all the necessary means for direct human inclusion into software systems. Virtual Institutions (VI) take advantage of this and combine Electronic Institutions (EI) and VWs to engineer MAS applications where humans participate together with software agents. In this demo, we introduce virtual mWater (v-mWater), a VI for water rights negotiation.

متن کاملmWater, a Case Study for Modeling Virtual Markets
We propose an electronic institution approach to build a virtual market as an open multi-agent system that handles several negotiation protocols in a coherent and flexible fashion. This proposal has been inspired by the work in mWater, which is developed as a regulated environment where autonomous agents trade rights for the use of water in a closed basin. We also present a generic negotiation ...
متن کاملv-mWater: An e-Government Application for Water Rights Agreements
Nowadays, governments are increasingly taking advantage of Information and Communication Technologies to provide services over the internet (the so-called e-Government applications) to citizens, businesses, employees, and agencies. We argue that e-government services will benefit from being distributed and intelligent, and thus, that they can be modelled as Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). The field ...
متن کاملmWater: a Sandbox for Agreement Technologies
The management of natural resources is an intricate and consequential task. In particular, water management is at the forefront of public policy priorities in many countries because of its growing scarcity and its considerable economic and social implications. At the core of water policy is the need to foster a more rational use of the resource, and one way of fostering efficiency might be the ...
متن کاملAssistant agents to advice users in hybrid structured 3D virtual environments
Hybrid structured 3D Virtual Environments model serious activities in immersive 3D spaces, where participants are human and SW agents, and their interactions are regulated by an OCMAS (Organization Centered Multi-Agent System). In this context, both OCMAS social model and the tasks that users need to accomplish can be rather complex, and thus, users may benefit from having an assistance service...
