چکیده

Roles are the basic building blocks for defining the behavior of agents in multi-agent systems. Agents typically perform several roles. In this paper, we describe analysis and design issues in defining agents as compositions of roles. In short, specifying the behavior of an agent entails in essence two issues: which roles are assigned to a particular agent, and how does an agent select a role in a particular situation. Both issues can be decided upon either by the designer (i.e. at design time) or by the agent (i.e. at run-time). This paper describes a basic taxonomy for role composition based on both issues, and illustrates the different composition approaches using a case study in the domain of manufacturing control.

Role of Surface Phenomena on Converter Slag Composition

For beneficiation of converter slag, the role of surface phenomena on slag composition was studied. This work includes some experimental data, which were measured for basic oxygen steel (BOS) slag in Isfahan Steel Plant. All data were collected on site in the plant. The results support the idea that surface activity plays a major role in converter slag formation. It was also a new finding t...

Changes in the composition and function of the gut microbiota in celiac disease

Evidence is supported the hypothesis that any changes in the composition and function of the gut microbiota play a fundamental role in a number of chronic inflammatory diseases including celiac disease (CD). In the last decade, several culture-independent methods have been developed to identify the components of the human microbiome. The study of microbiota based on nucleic acid analysis found ...

A Taxonomy of Disposition-Parthood

We propose a taxonomy of mereological relations between dispositions, as well as a series of axioms relating the bearers, triggers or realizations of disposition-complexes and disposition-parts. We apply them on a use case to show how basic dispositions can be combined to express elaborate dispositions. We consider whether those relations of partial ordering satisfy axioms of composition and de...

Properties of Relationships among objects in Object-Oriented Software Design

One of the modern paradigms to develop a system is object oriented analysis and design. In this paradigm, there are several objects and each object plays some specific roles. After identifying objects, the various relationships among objects must be identified. This paper makes a literature review over relationships among objects. Mainly, the relationships are three basic types, including gener...
