Design Considerations for Incorporating Flexible Workflow and Multi-Agent Interactions in Agent Societies
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we present our conception of a Flexible Agent Society (FAS), an extension of the Contractual Agent Society (CAS) idea. Essentially, a FAS is a distributed information system modeling an agent society, providing agents with the ability to collaborate in order to meet certain common goals. In a FAS, unlike the CAS, the agents themselves have control over the workflow processes and multi-agent conversations that they need to execute in order to meet their common goals.

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 ...
متن کاملA Collaborative Multi-agent Based Workflow System
Agent based workflow systems are being discussed by many researchers for a long time. In this paper we present a new collaborative approach for workflow systems. Agents collaborate by forming social network such as societies. Various kinds of societies can exist and that facilitates cooperation and a communal effort towards group oriented problem solving. This framework would help us study the ...
متن کاملFlexible and Emergent Workflows Using Adaptive Agents
Most of existing workflow systems are rigid since they require to completely specify processes before their enactment and they also lack flexibility during their execution. This work proposes to view a workflow as a set of cooperative and adaptive agents interleaving its design and its execution leading to an emergent workflow. We use the theory of Adaptive Multi-Agent Systems (AMAS) to provide...
