A notation for representing agents’ organizations to be implemented using Moise+ and Jason is proposed. For this purpose a UML profile was defined for representing the elements of Moise+ organizational model such as role, mission and group. The proposed notation will be fully illustrated and applied to the classical example provided by the J-Moise+ team.

This paper gives an overview of a multi-agent system forming a team of “cowboys” to compete in the Multi-Agent Programming Contest 2008 (the ‘Cows and Herders’ scenario). In the two previous contests, we tested and improved Jason [2], an agent platform based on an extension of an agent-oriented programming language called AgentSpeak(L) [5]. The language is inspired by the BDI architecture, thus...

This workshop was sponsored by AIM and the NSF and it brought in participants from the US, Canada and the European Union to Palo Alto, CA to work to translate questions from quantum computing, complexity theory, statistical learning theory, signal processing, and data analysis to problems in geometry and representation theory. In all these areas, varieties in spaces of tensors that are invarian...

Since 3-SAT is NP-complete, checking if a given assignment satisfies φ can be (trivially) accomplished in polynomial time, but finding such an assignment or proving that φ is unsatisfiable requires exponential time in general. Letting m, n, and l be (respectively) the number of clauses, variables, and literals in φ, the naive “try everything” or “guess and check” algorithm runs in O(2n ∗ l) tim...
