The usability of traffic management and traffic control systems greatly depends on its ability of reacting upon traffic patterns and permutations. In this research we investigate the possibility of using autonomous intelligent agents to reduce workloads of traffic control operators, while maintaining high levels of usability. This paper describes an intelligent dynamic traffic management and co...

ly, this is achieved by means of a combination of three aspects: 1. A range of message types, which are based on Searle's speech act theory and which are grounded in a sound logical framework. 2. A series of notations in which logical propositions, actions and objects can be expressed. 3. The use of explicitly referenced ontologies that allow agents to interpret the identifiers in a communicati...

There are several ways of building complex distributed software systems, for example in the form of software agents. But regardless of the form, there are some common problems having to do with specification contra execution. One of the problems is the inherent dynamics in the environment many systems are exposed to. The properties of the environment are not known with any precision at the time...

Designing Distributed Learning Environments with Intelligent Software Agents discusses a possible solution to this problem. Using agents as an abstraction tool or a metaphor for the design and construction of distance-learning systems provides novel possibilities in delivering user-focused elearning content. Furthermore, the book presents the agent-oriented approach as a way to address the comp...
