چکیده

We investigate the problem of autonomous agents processing pieces of information that may be corrupted (tainted). Agents have the option of contacting a central database for a reliable check of the status of the message, but this procedure is costly and therefore should be used with parsimony. Agents have to evaluate the risk of being infected, and decide if and when communicating partners are affordable. Trustability is implemented as a personal (one-to-one) record of past contacts among agents, and as a mean-field monitoring of the level of message corruption. Moreover, this information is slowly forgotten in time, so that at the end everybody is checked against the database. We explore the behavior of a homogeneous system in the case of a fixed pool of spreaders of corrupted messages, and in the case of spontaneous appearance of corrupted messages.

Creating Polite Agents: 5 Heuristics for User Experience Design

Issues relating to agent/user interaction and usability are important in making agent research a reality. Although often discussed, interaction strategies have rarely been deployed with general users. We present the results of such deployments: a set of heuristics generated by listening to feedback from users of an autonomous information retrieval agent. The lessons learned from this deployment...

Network Languages for Concurrent Multiagent Systems

This paper** reports new results in the development of Linguistic Geometry towards concurrent multiagent aerospace systems. This formal theory is intended to discover the inner properties of human expert heuristics, which have been successful in a certain class of complex control systems, and apply them to different systems. The Linguistic Geometry relies on the formalization of search heuristi...

Team-Work based Architecture for Distributed Manufacturing Scheduling

This paper presents a Team-Work based architecture for Distributed Manufacturing Scheduling with Genetic Algorithms and Tabu Search. We consider that a good global solution for a scheduling problem may emerge from a community of machine agents solving locally their schedules and cooperating with other machine agents. Social aspects are considered when a community of autonomous agents cooperate ...

Fast, Neat and Under Control: Inverse Steering Behaviors for Physical Autonomous Agents

Steering behaviors are a set of motion based reactive procedures used for navigating autonomous agents in their environment. Combinations of steering behaviors can be used to create complex behaviors. One problem inherent to existing approaches to arbitrating between single behaviors is that their combination may lead to suboptimal, undesired, or even catastrophic results in certain situations....

A Context-aware Architecture for Mental Model Sharing through Semantic Movement in Intelligent Agents

Recent studies in multi-agent systems are paying increasingly more attention to the paradigm of designing intelligent agents with human inspired concepts. One of the main cognitive concepts driving the core of many recent approaches in multi agent systems is shared mental models. In this paper, we propose an architecture for sharing mental models based on a new concept called semantic movement....

Constructing an Autonomous Agent with an Interdependent Heuristics

When we construct an agent by integrating modules, there appear troubles concerning the autonomy of the agent if we introduce a heuristics that dominates the whole agent. Thus, we design an agent that has an interdependent heuristics influenced by a module controlled by the heuristics, and we apply these agents into a problem of obtaining cooperation of Multi-Agents. We enable a present method ...
