Subset space logics have been introduced and studied as a framework for reasoning about a notion of effort in epistemic logic. The seminal Subset Space Logic (SSL) by Moss and Parikh modeled a single agent, and most work in this area has focused on different extensions of the language, or different model classes resulting from restrictions on subset spaces, while still keeping the single-agent ...

In the past, research on agent-oriented software engineering had been widely lacking touch with the world of industrial software development. Recently, a cooperation has been established between the Foundation of Intelligent Physical Agents (FIPA) and the Object Management Group (OMG) aiming to increase acceptance of agent technology in industry by relating to de facto standards (object-oriente...

An acute mortality caused by an uncertain agent occurred in wild golden grey mullet (Liza auratus) population in the Iranian side of the Caspian Sea in February, 2004. Clinical signs of the moribund fish were erratic behavior such as spiral swimming, belly-up at rest and over inflation of swim bladder. Histological examination of brain of dead fish revealed hyperaemia, degeneration and necrosis...

In Europe, the ongoing renewable expansion and delays in planned grid extension have intensified discussion about an adequate electricity market design. Against this background, we jointly apply agent-based model optimal power flow to investigate long-term impacts of splitting German area into two price zones. Our approach allows capturing investment short-term behavior under imperfect informat...

This paper proposes an agent-based system with Organizational-Learning Oriented Classifier System (OCS), which is an extension of Learning Classifier System ~CS) into multiple agent environments. In OCS, each agent is equipped with a corresponding Michigan type LCS and acquires problem solving knowledge based on the concepts of organizational learning in management and organizational sciences. ...

There are many different application frameworks, which accelerate user interface development by simplifying repetitive and time consuming tasks. Most of these frameworks follow the widely accepted Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture.Although, the existing frameworks are optimized for the implementation of object-oriented applications. The special features and possibilities offered by agent...

This paper proposes an ad-hoc network system based on mobile agents. We regard some special mobile agent as an implementation of the network protocol. Mobile agents can move over the network while being carried by protocol agents. Implementation of the protocols by the mobile agents enables the dynamic extension of the network. We introduce agent replication for the simple development of the in...

The Electronic Institutions (EIs) framework is designed for regulating interactions among heterogeneous agents in open systems [1]. In EIs, agent interactions are speech acts whose exchange is organized as conversation protocols called scenes. Agents can participate simultaneously in multiple scenes playing a single role in each one of them. However, at some point, the execution of a given scen...

Agent technology is synonymous with advanced computer software and a growing body of work exists on the use of adaptive techniques within the agent paradigm (e.g. [Kozierok & Maes 1993]). The distributed and/or multi-faceted nature of complex problem domains, such as network routing or process control, has lead to the extension of agent frameworks to multi-agent systems, both within traditional...
