Agent UML is a graphical modeling language for describing multiagent systems but until now, it has not been applied to real-world applications. The aim of our project is to apply Agent UML to Supply Chain Management. This project has several objectives: (1) it allows us to discover which diagrams have to be enhanced, modi ed or created and, (2) it allows us to de ne a methodology based on Agent...

This paper introduces an architecture-centric object-oriented design method for MAS (Multi-Agent Systems) using the extended UML (Unified Modeling Language). The UML extension is based on design principles that are derived from characteristics of MAS and concept of software architecture which helps to design reusable and wellstructured multi-agent architecture. The extension allows one to use o...

Effective communication can improve coordination in cooperative multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL). One popular scheme is exchanging agents' local observations or latent embeddings and using them to augment individual policy input. Such a paradigm reduce uncertainty for decision-making induce implicit coordination. However, it enlarges spaces increases complexity, leading poor complex se...

The phenomenon of brain drain, that is the emigration highly skilled people, has many undesirable effects, particularly for developing countries. In this study, an agent-based model developed to understand dynamics such emigration. We hypothesise people's decisions are based on several factors including overall economic and social difference between home host countries, ability capacity obtain ...
