the health industry’s supply chain is full of uncertainty and unpredictability. thus, building an intelligent system to effectively capture the requirements of customers and help manage the supply chain is very important. despite artificial intelligence widespread acceptance as a decision-aid tool, ai has seen limited application in supply chain management. to fully exploit the potential benefi...

The agent can be categorized into two types; one is known as an intelligent agent and the second is malicious agent, called computer viruses. These types of agents have some common characteristics; both are intelligent by nature and both have the properties reproduction and transfer from one host to another host in the network, called transferability. The fundamental difference between these ag...

An intelligent communicating agent has both the properties of intelligent agents and communicating agents, which are autonomy, reactivity, proactiveness and sociability. In this paper, we propose a modelbased approach to designing and implementing intelligent communicating agents for multi-agent systems (MAS). As background knowledge for our approach, we first briefly introduce the agent-orient...

Modern intelligent systems are built from intelligent agents, but usually agent interaction mechanisms are described at the general level omitting design and implementation details. The paper presents aspects of practical implementation of agent interaction mechanisms in JADE platform on the basis of the set of agents for modelling student’s emotions in intelligent tutoring systems. The concept...

A control enhancement to the intelligent agent paradigm is proposed. We refer to this as the Hybrid Intelligent Control Agent (HICA) since it conceptually wraps an intelligent agent around a core that is itself a hybrid control system. This paper discusses the HICA agent and shows how it might be used as a skeletal control agent to synthesize agent-based controllers for inherently distributed m...
