In this paper we present our results on the exploration of the design space of a declarative framework for automated negotiation by: (1) identifying a minimal yet viable generic negotiation protocol and a declarative way of representing rules and constraints specific to negotiation mechanisms and strategies; (2) identifying the need of a set of basic concepts for describing negotiations that fo...

Jason Stanley and Timothy Williamson’s influential article ‘‘Knowing How’’ argues that knowledge-how is a species of knowledge-that. One objection to their view is that knowledge-how is significantly different than knowledge-that because Gettier cases afflict the latter but not the former. Stanley and Williamson argue that this objection fails. Their response, however, is not adequate. Moreover...

Satellite altimetry has been providing a continuous record of ocean measurements with numerous applications across the entire range sciences. A reference orbit used since 1992 TOPEX/Poseidon, which was repeated in Jason missions, and newly launched Sentinel-6 Michael Freilich (in November 2020) to continually monitor trends sea level rise other properties surface. These multidecadal missions ha...

Satellite radar altimetry has immense potential for monitoring fresh surface water resources and predicting the intra-seasonal, seasonal, inter-annual variability of inundated over large river basins. As part Preparation Surface Water Ocean Topography mission scheduled launch in mid-2022, present study aimed to evaluate performance inland bodies India. The Joint Altimetry Oceanography Network (...

When information is shared between agents of unknown reliability, it is possible that their belief bases become inconsistent. In such cases, the belief base must be revised to restore consistency, so that the agent is able to reason. In some cases the inconsistent information may be due to use of incorrect plans. We extend work by Alechina et al. to revise belief bases in which plans can be dyn...

Since many of the currently available multi-agent frameworks are generally mostly intended for research, it can be difficult to built multiagent systems using physical robots. In this report I describe a way to combine the multi-agent framework Jason, an extended version of the agent-oriented programming language AgentSpeak, with Lego robots to address this problem. By extending parts of the Ja...

This paper gives an overview of a proposed strategy for the “Cows and Herders” scenario given in the Multi-Agent Programming Contest 2009. The strategy is to be implemented using the Jason platform, based on the agent-oriented programming language AgentSpeak. The paper describes the agents, their goals and the strategies they should follow. The basis for the paper and for participating in the c...
