In this paper we explore the possibility of suitably combining the nodes Ω of the existing geodetic LAGEOS, LAGEOS II and Ajisai SLR satellites and of the radar altimeter Jason–1 satellite in order to increase, hopefully, the accuracy in testing the general relativistic gravitomagnetic Lense–Thirring effect in the gravitational field of the Earth. The proposal of introducing Jason–1 in such a c...

In this paper we show that by suitably combining the nodes Ω of the existing geodetic LAGEOS, LAGEOS II and Ajisai SLR satellites and of the radar altimeter Jason–1 satellite it would be possible to measure the general relativistic gravitomagnetic Lense–Thirring effect in the gravitational field of the Earth with a high accuracy and reliability. The proposal of introducing Jason–1 in such a com...

In this paper we explore the possibility of suitably combining the nodes Ω of the existing geodetic LAGEOS, LAGEOS II and Ajisai SLR satellites and of the radar altimeter Jason–1 satellite in order to increase the accuracy in testing the general relativistic gravitomagnetic Lense–Thirring secular effect in the gravitational field of the Earth. The proposal of introducing Ajisai and Jason–1 in s...

In this paper, we present our experiences using the Jason agent-oriented programming language to develop a complex multi-agent application. We highlight a number of shortcomings in the current design of the language when building complex agents, and propose revisions to the language to allow the development of modular programs that facilitate code reuse and independent development. In particula...

This paper presents J-MADeM, a new market-based multi-agent approach devoted to perform social simulations with BDI agents. J-MADeM is available as an open-source library integrated into Jason [2], the successful interpreter for the AgentSpeak programming language [16]. The aim of this work is to improve Jason by incorporating the main features of MADeM [10], a market-based mechanism for social...

This paper applies a virtue epistemology approach to using the Internet, as to improve our information-seeking behaviours. Virtue epistemology focusses on the cognitive character of agents and is less concerned with the nature of truth and epistemic justification as compared to traditional analytic epistemology. Due to this focus on cognitive character and agency, it is a fruitful but underexpl...
