چکیده

This paper studies how to extend the concept of active object into a structure of agent. It rst discusses the requirements for autonomous agents that are not covered by simple active objects. We propose then the extension of the single behavior of an active object into a set of behaviors with a meta-behavior scheduling their activities. To make a concrete proposal based on these ideas we describe how we extended a platform of active objects, named Actalk, into a generic multi-agent platform, named DIMA. We discuss how this extension has been implemented. We nally report on the application of DIMA to model economic agent evolution. Cet article etudie une extension du concept d'objets actifs en une structure d'agents au-tonomes. Nous pr esentons d'abord les caract eristiques des agents autonomes qui ne sont pas assur ees par de simples objets actifs. Nous proposons ensuite une extension du comporte-ment simple d'un objet actif en un ensemble de comportements et un m eta-comportement pour superviser leurs interactions. Comme application concr ete de ces id ees, nous d ecrivons l'extension d'une plate-forme d'objets actifs (appel ee Actalk), en une plate-forme multi-agents g en erique (appel ee DIMA). Nous discutons de l'impl ementation de cette extension. Finalement, nous rapportons des exp erimentations de DIMA sur la simulation d'agents economiques.

Extension of Logic regression to Longitudinal data: Transition Logic Regression

Logic regression is a generalized regression and classification method that is able to make Boolean combinations as new predictive variables from the original binary variables. Logic regression was introduced for case control or cohort study with independent observations. Although in various studies, correlated observations occur due to different reasons, logic regression have not been studi...

Extending the Qualitative Trajectory Calculus Based on the Concept of Accessibility of Moving Objects in the Paths

Qualitative spatial representation and reasoning are among the important capabilities in intelligent geospatial information system development. Although a large contribution to the study of moving objects has been attributed to the quantitative use and analysis of data, such calculations are ineffective when there is little inaccurate data on position and geometry or when explicitly explaining ...

طراحی مدل‌ عامل‌محور و کاربرد آن در باستان‌شناسی

The aim of this paper is to consider what constitutes agent-based modelling (ABM) and how this can relate to archaeological reasoning. The development and construction of ABM models is an essential prerequisite for most archaeological reasoning. Both directly and indirectly, archaeologists are making extensive use of ideas and methods in applications that derive from archaeological, anthropolog...

Analyzing the Costs of Collective Actions for Political, Administrative, and Economic Agents to Facilitate Investment

The processes of collective action of individuals within the government organization and the formation and modification of these processes in the private sector have fundamental differences with collective action. A collective action, either in the form of an activity or in the form of a reform of an entity, both has transaction costs for agents within the process. So, a collective action withi...
