چکیده
The practical deployment of distributed agent-based systems mandates that each agent behave sensibly. This paper focuses on the development of flexible, responsive, adaptive systems based on Sensible Agents. Sensible Agents perceive, process, and respond based on an understanding of both local and system goals. Each agent is capable of (1) deliberative or reactive planning and execution of one or more domain-specific service /task, (2) maintaining and interpreting knowledge about states, events, and goals related to itself, other agents, and the environment, and (3) adapting its behavior according to its understanding of its own local goals and overall system goals. This paper addresses the above issues in the context of applied semiotics, a field that analyzes and develops the formal tools of knowledge acquisition, representation, organization, generation, enhancement, communication, and utilization. A Sensible Agent architecture has been developed where each agent is composed of five modules: a Self-Agent Modeler, an External Agent Modeler, an Action Planner, an Autonomy Reasoner, and a Conflict Resolution Advisor.

An Agent Infrastructure Implementation for Leveraging and Collaboration in Operational and Experimental Environments
Sensible Agents have been engineered to solve distributed problems in complex, uncertain, and dynamic domains. Each Sensible Agent is composed of four modules (the Action Planner, Perspective Modeler, Conflict Resolution Advisor, and Autonomy Reasoner). These modules endow Sensible Agents with the ability to plan, model, resolve individual conflicts, and change agent system organization. Two co...
متن کاملThe Architecture for Sensible Agents
The development of flexible, responsive and adaptive systems has long been the goal when deploying automated systems operating in complex and dynamic domains. The Sensible Agent architecture is proposed with these goals in mind. Capable of dynamically adapting their level of autonomy, these Sensible Agents perceive, process and respond based on an understanding of both their own goals and syste...
متن کاملConflict Management in Sensible Agent-based Systems
In this paper, an approach of conflict classification and detection is proposed in a domain independent framework for conflict management, and deployed in Sensible Agent Architectures. Sensible agents are agents that operate in a multi-agent based system with the ability to dynamically adapt their level of autonomy. Conflicts are classified as goal, plan and belief conflicts. It is shown that s...
