In this paper we propose a new agent communication language which separates agent dialogue from any specific agent reasoning technology. This language is intended to address a number of perceived shortcomings with the mentalistic model of agent communication on which the FIPA-ACL standard is founded. Our language expresses inter-agent dialogue through the use of agent protocols, and is intended...

This paper gives an overview of Ajanta, a Java-based system for mobile agent programming. We discuss the Ajanta architecture, and elaborate on the mechanisms used to provide object mobility, and secure execution of mobile agents in connned protection domains. The agent programming environment is deened, in terms of a set of primitive operations. A proxy-based ne-grained access control mechanism...

Traditional approaches to manage business processes are often defective for dynamic, open, inter-organizational business environment. However, with the development of Internet, many business processes exhibit these characteristics. And the business process has become more dynamic and unpredictable. So aiming at these new characteristics we provide a new approach which well adapts the new enviro...

Application of agent technology to design and implementation of process automation systems has been proposed by some researchers. The purpose of this paper is to review current knowledge of this issue. The starting point of the study is the functional requirements of a process automation system. The requirements are compared with the models of agent systems, including multi-agent communication ...

Conflict in multi-agent systems is ubiquitous. Research often focuses on the process of resolving conflicts between different agents. We call this the inter-agent conflict resolution process. However, in complex problem solving agents the process of resolving conflicts with other agents impacts local problem solving as well as deals made with other agents. This leads to the need for an intra-ag...

This paper presents a cooperative control which is applied to the secondary control of a microgrid controlled via a multi-agent scheme. Balancing power that leads to voltage and frequency stability in a microgrid is essential. The voltage and frequency regulations are limiting within the specified limits and conveying them to their nominal values. Limiting and conveying the voltage and frequenc...

Role is an important concept in research on how to develop method of Agent-Oriented software. In this paper, To study the background is bee product quality traceability system based on Multi-Agent, base on bee product quality critical control point, and describes a role-based multi-level framework of the method . Through Agent get different roles,and it get a group of services related to the pr...

agent technology is an emerging and promising research area in software technology, which increasingly contributes to the development of value-added information systems for large healthcare organizations due to its capability to automatically modify themselves in response to changes in their operating environment. multi agent system (mas) approach is the construction of a complex system as a se...

The Air Force Research Laboratory has identified multiple spacecraft formation flying as an enabling technology for several future space missions. A key benefit of formation flying is the ability to reconfigure the spacecraft formation to achieve different mission objectives. In this paper, generation of fuel optimal manoeuvres for spacecraft formation reconfiguration is modelled and analysed a...

in statistical quality control a very widely used measure is average run length (arl) which may be worked out by different methods like integral equation, approximations, and monte carlo simulations. the arl measure and the other related measures are of major significance in every type of production process. an omission in its computation (and hence its related measures such as extra quadratic ...
