To ease large-scale realization of agent applications there is an urgent need for frameworks, methodologies and toolkits that support the effective development of agent systems. Moreover, since one of the main tasks for which agent systems were invented is the integration between heterogeneous software, independently developed agents should be able to interact successfully. In this paper, we pr...

Due to the spread of distributed systems, a number of agent systems have been developed. Since most existing multiagent systems implement different agent platforms (AP), it is extremely hard to get heterogeneous agents to work together. In this paper, we introduce a new network protocol called Agent Platform Protocol (APP), which is designed to meet the exact demands of agent interaction over w...

The successful and efficient querying of information in electronic information pools is becoming increasingly important in today’s information society. At the same time the quantity of existing information is continually growing. Querying scientific literature and selecting relevant hits are typical examples for this. Börner and Chen [BC02] present possibilities to display structured informatio...

Organizations and roles are often seen as mental constructs, good to be used during the design phase in Multi Agent Systems, but they have also been considered as first class citizens in MAS, when objective coordination is needed. Roles facilitate the coordination of agents inside an organization, and they give new abilities in the context of organizations, called powers, to the agents which sa...

Objective The aim of this study is to systematically evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of the traditional Chinese medicine prescription Jade Screen combined with desloratadine in the treatment of chronic urticaria. Methods Two researchers independently conducted literature searches. The extracted data were analyzed using Rev Man 5.2.3 software. The established retrieval time range of ...

This paper addresses the application of blind source separation (BSS) algorithms to the problem of blind equalization (BE) in a frequency selective multiuser environment. Compared with other algorithms that exploit the structural properties of the channel or data matrix, our approaches are insensitive to channel order estimation, robust to ill-conditioned channels and able to choose the \best" ...

JADE is an adaptive scheme of nature inspired algorithm, Differential Evolution (DE). It performed considerably improved on a set of well-studied benchmark test problems. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of new JADE with two external archives to deal with unconstrained continuous large-scale global optimization problems labeled as Reflected Adaptive Differential Evolution with Two Ext...

this paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. in this study, some facts (flexible ac transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. each device here is modeled as ...

The use of isotopes is crucial for understanding the origin jade/nephrite. This article first contrasts recent studies on radioisotopes and stable contemporary nephrite deposits in China, Baikal region, South Korean Peninsula. It then reviews isotopic analysis sources artifacts ancient highlighting concentration with distinct fingerprints three significant geographic areas, Northeast Asia, Yell...
