This paper provides a derivation of Zipf-Pareto laws directly from the principle least effort. A probabilistic functional efficiency is introduced as consequence an extension nonadditivity thermodynamic engine to large number living agents assimilated engines, all randomly distributed over their output. Application maximum calculus this yields laws.

When intelligent agents get new knowledge and this knowledge must be added or updated to their knowledge base, then it is important to avoid inconsistencies. In this paper, we propose a semantics for update sequences of programs. The semantics is proposed as an application of an extension of the notion of generalized answer sets. This extension is also introduced in this work.

this study compared the use of interpersonal and mass media channels of communication among rural farmers in kogi state, nigeria. the specific objectives were to describe the socio economic characteristics of the farmers, determine the influence of socioeconomic characteristics on the usage of interpersonal and media channels, ascertain farmers’ level of awareness of interpersonal and media cha...

Public announcement logic is an extension of multi-agent epistemic logic with dynamic operators to model the informational consequences of announcements to the entire group of agents. We propose a labelled tableau-calculus for this logic. We also present an extension of the calculus for a logic of arbitrary announcements.

Problems of allocating indivisible goods to agents in an efficient and fair manner without money have long been investigated in the literature. The random assignment problem is one of them, where we are given a fixed feasible (available) set of indivisible goods and a profile of ordinal preferences over the goods, one for each agent, and we determine an assignment of goods to agents in a random...

The purpose of the study reported here was designing Information Dissemination System (IDS) based E-learning in agricultural of Iran. A questionnaire was developed to designing Information Dissemination System. The questionnaire was distributed to 96 extension agents who work for Management of Extension and Farming System of Khuzestan province of Iran. Data collected were analyzed using the Sta...

In this paper, we describe the strategies used by our team, MLFC, that led us to achieve 2\(^{nd}\) place in 15\(^{th}\) edition of Multi-Agent Programming Contest. The scenario contest is an extension previous (14\(^{th}\)) “Agents Assemble” wherein two teams agents move around a 2D grid and compete assemble complex block structures. We discuss languages tools during development team. Then, su...
