چکیده

The complexity of evaluating e-learning has become an issue that is being addressed by educational developers. A possible solution to part of the problem lies in the use of software agents to extract data from the e-learning software and to organise that data in intelligent ways. A project group (PEDANT) is working on the design and development of pedagogical agents to monitor and evaluate a range of computer-based learning tools including Web-based ones operating as an e-learning environment. This paper reports on the conceptual structure that has evolved to define the development process for the pedagogical agents. This includes the intention of making the final products generalisable across a variety of e-learning platforms and environments.

Voltage Coordination of FACTS Devices in Power Systems Using RL-Based Multi-Agent Systems

This paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. In this study, some FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. Each device here is modeled as ...
