In this paper, we consider discrete-time partially observed mean-field games with the risk-sensitive optimality criterion. We introduce risk-sensitivity behavior for each agent via an exponential utility function. game model, is weakly coupled rest of population through its individual cost and state dynamics empirical distribution states. establish equilibrium in infinite-population limit using...

In order to investigate the effect of nano polymer materials on UV aged performance asphalt binder, a PA modifying agent was selected prepare modified asphalt. Under radiation, rheological properties studied. With extension ageing time, microstructure variation characterized by using focused ion beam scanning electron microscope (FIB-SEM). The thermophysical were investigated thermogravimetric ...

We use MCMAS-X to verify authentication properties in the TESLA secure stream protocol. MCMAS-Xis an extension to explicit and deductive knowledge of the OBDD-based model checker MCMAS a verification tool for multi-agent systems.

in this paper, a formal model for antivirus update agent system is presented based on mobile agent technology and predicate/transition petri nets. the mobile agent system contains two mobile agents called dca and una. it sends out agents to update antivirus on client computers in a network. each agent takes on a specified responsibility. first, dca roams through the network and check the last d...

this research was based on primary data collected through well designed and pre-tested questionnaire, to determine awareness of farmers on extension methods used by adp in kano state of nigeria. multistage sampling technique was used, in which three local governments were randomly selected. secondly, three wards one each from the selected local governments (danbatta, gaya and madobi) were rando...

present study was conducted in the three provinces of pakistan with the objectives to study the curricula relevancy with the participatory extension, supervision and administration and its practical applicability at the field level. for this extension agents of the selected provinces were selected purposively. mail questionnaire were used as instruments for data collection form 227 respondents ...

this study examined the accuracy between extension professionals and farmers regarding their perceptions of privatization and commercialization of agricultural extension services. the study was carried out in delta state, nigeria and it had a sample size of 224 respondents comprising of 134 extension professionals of the delta state agricultural programme (dtadp) and 90 farmers that were random...

We address the problem of suboptimal behavior caused by short horizons during online POMDP planning. Our solution extends potential-based reward shaping from the related field of reinforcement learning to online POMDP planning in order to improve planning without increasing the planning horizon. In our extension, information about the quality of belief states is added to the function optimized ...

This demonstration is exhibiting an interactive tool for defining agent protocols using a new notation “HAPN” which we have developed to overcome issues we have experienced with commonly used agent protocol notations such as AUML. The notation has a formal semantics which facilitates back end support within the tool for checking desirable or undesirable properties of a specification. The notati...
