Organization-based Multiagent Systems are a promising way to develop complex multiagent systems. However, it is still difficult to create large multiagent organizations from scratch. Multiagent organizations created using current AOSE methodologies tend to produce ad-hoc designs that work well for small applications but are not easily reused. In this paper, we provide a conceptual framework for...

The COIN (Coordination, Organizations, Institutions and Norms) workshop series began in 2005 with a single satellite workshop at AAMAS in Utrecht [1]. Since then two meetings have been organized each year, with one typically attached to AAMAS and the other to another major conference in a different continent from AAMAS [2], [3], [4]. This year, exceptionally, a third event is being held in supp...

Our proposal is to apply a Game Theoretic approach to the games played in Agent Reputation and Trust Final Competitions. Using such testbed, three international competitions were successfully carried out jointly with the last AAMAS international Conferences. The corresponding way to define the winner of such competitions was to run a game with all the participants (16). Our point is that such g...

Abstract B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) is characterized by genetic alterations with high heterogeneity. Precise subtypes distinct genomic and/or gene expression patterns have been recently revealed using high-throughput sequencing technology. Most of these profiles are associated recurrent non-overlapping rearrangements or hotspot point mutations that analogous to the ...

Abstract Embryonal central nervous system tumors require genetic and epigenetic molecular analyses for further classification owing to the pathological, clinical, heterogeneity among these tumors. Here, we report a case of an infantile pineal tumor showing pathological features CNS ganglioneuroblastoma; however, specimen also contained SMARCA4 mutations methylation signature that is close atypi...

The Philadelphia (Ph1) chromosome, or its molecular counterpart, the BCR-ABL fusion gene, is a rare but important prognostic indicator in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), but its impact on adult ALL has not been well ascertained. A prospective study of the BCR-ABL fusion gene was begun on patients entered on clinical trials conducted by the Cancer and Leukemia Group B (CALGB). All ...

Adult T-cell leukaemia-lymphoma (ATL) is a mature malignancy, with more than 50% of cases showing cutaneous involvement. Patients cutaneous-type ATL (cATL) in the indolent type (i.e., favourable chronic or smouldering type) can usually be managed by watchful waiting and they are primarily treated skin-directed therapies until disease progresses to acute crisis, multiple tumours considered intra...

A key feature of the AAMAS conference is its emphasis on ties to real-world applications. The focus of this article is to provide a broad overview of application-focused papers published at the AAMAS 2010 and 2011 conferences. More specifically, recent applications at AAMAS could be broadly categorized as belonging to research areas of security, sustainability and safety. We outline the domains...
