solvable graphs (also known as reachable graphs) are types of graphs that any arrangement of a specified number of agents located on the graph’s vertices can be reached from any initial arrangement through agents’ moves along the graph’s edges, while avoiding deadlocks (interceptions). in this paper, the properties of solvable graphs are investigated, and a new concept in multi agent moti...

the aim of this study is to discuss and critically review the intelligent agents (ia) and their recent developments. the report will particularly focus on the area of intelligent agents and information retrieval and how this technology is aiding users of databases. this report commences with a discussion of what intelligent agents are and it reviews the qualities they are generally expected to ...

An agent perceives its environment through sensors and acts on this environment using effectors percept-an agents perceptual input at any given instant percept sequence-complete history of what the agent has perceived An agent is anything that can be viewed as perceiving its environment through sensors and acting upon that environment through actuators • Human agent: eyes, ears, and other organ...

1.1 Introduction Computers are not very good at knowing what to do: every action a computer performs must be explicitly anticipated, planned for, and coded by a programmer. If a computer program ever encounters a situation that its designer did not anticipate, then the result is not usually pretty | a system crash at best, multiple loss of life at worst. This mundane fact is at the heart of our...

A search on Google for the keywords “intelligent agents’ will return more than 330,000 hits; “multi-agent” returns almost double that amount as well as over 5,000 citations on www.citeseer.com. What is agent technology and what has led to its enormous popularity in both the academic and commercial worlds? Agent-based system technology offers a new paradigm for designing and implementing softwar...

Software Agents are the new revolution in software usability. Agents are described with anthropomorphic features such as intelligence, autonomy, and such. The school of researchers from the fields of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Distributed AI (DAI), and other more pragmatic researchers are engaged in defining these “software entities” and creating this new field of study and development along...
