چکیده

The notion of an intelligent product calls for research into suitability for integration as it aims for coordination and integration on an unprecedented scale. This is particularly challenging where it affects the core businesses of companies. Moreover, these integration issues go well beyond IT interoperability. This paper presents a novel concept the intelligent being as a means to achieve suitability for integration at this scale. The paper argues for a major role of the intelligent being in production and logistic systems analogous to the undeniably prominent role of maps in navigation systems. The concept of an intelligent being contributes to the design and development of complex adaptive systems by enabling integration and coordination at an unprecedented scale: the corresponding reality is the limit.

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....

Intelligent multi-agent modeling of the interbank network and evaluation of the impact of regulatory policies

agent-based modeling is an emerging computational technique that makes it possible to simulate complex economic systems, including the banking network, with a bottom-up approach. In this paper, the country's banking network is simulated with an intelligent multi-agent modeling model and indicates that these agents behave based on the adaptive learning. This modeling has been done with the aim o...
