An Ontology for Collaborative Tasks in Multi-agent Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes an ontology for task representation and inference. The ontology was developed to support reasoning about tasks, such as task recognition and relocation. Our proposal is formalized in OWL (Web Ontology Language) and SWRL (Semantic Web Rule Language). We show one scenario to exemplify reasoning situations based on the axioms and rules of our ontology. This knowledge-level representation of tasks can be explored to support reasoning about activities for groups of people. The knowledge asserted and inferred in the ontology is useful in multi-agent systems to enhance agent coordination and collaboration through reasoning over tasks. An evaluation of the proposed ontology is presented.

متن کاملUsing a Multi-agent System for Supply Chain Management
Supply chain management (SCM) is a well-known example of a complex system. Classical computing technologies have shown little success in modeling complex systems. However, a large body of research in multi-agent system (MAS) technology has demonstrated how complex systems can be modeled to generate smart solutions, which could not be done otherwise. We have researched on the design and developm...
