Keywords: Multi-agent system Distributed control Markov jump parameter Optimal tracking control Mean field theory a b s t r a c t Distributed control of the multi-agent systems involving a major agent and a large number of minor agents is investigated in this paper. There exist Markov jump parameters in the dynamic equation and random parameters in the index functions. The major agent has salie...

<span>This work was carried out in the company ACINOX Las Tunas, Cuba, to design an integrated automation architecture based on intelligent agents for control, monitoring, and decision-making production process that guarantees improvement planning management of steelwork plant. The great differences technologies systems each steel mill multiple restrictions, methods, techniques, within a ...

glucoronoxylomannan (gxm) is the most important compound of polysaccharide capsule in cryptococcus neoformans that causes infection in its recognition as a foreign agent by immune system. because of its similarity with some naural compounds such as heparin and hyaloronic acid, this study was undertaken to determine the effect of polysaccharide compounds on blood coagulative process and renal pe...

In this paper, a MAS for system identification and process control is presented. In particular, this MAS implements a self-tuning regulator (STR) scheme. It has adopted FIPA specifications because they have become a stronger standard in MAS development and they involve not only agent language specifications but also agent management and conversations. In this work, an Ontology Agent (OA) is inc...

This paper describes work undertaken in the ADEPT (Advanced Decision Environment for Process Tasks) project towards developing an agent-based infrastructure for managing business processes. We describe how the key technology of negotiating, service providing, autonomous agents was realised and demonstrate how this was applied to the BT (British Telecom) business process of providing a customer ...

Abstract—A distributed control approach based on multi-agent negotiation is presented, wherein stops and buses act as agents that communicate in real-time to achieve dynamic coordination of bus dispatching at various stops. The negotiation between a Bus Agent and a Stop Agent is conducted based on marginal cost calculations. We present optimality conditions for the formulated problem, using whi...
