In this paper we argue that self-modifying code can become a better strategy for realizing long-lived autonomous software systems than static code, regardless how well it was valid...
The systemic theory associates open systems and complexity closely. This article presents a particular articulation between these two concepts using the Systemion Model. Two types ...
In this paper, we describe an on-going project called Concept and Sensor Networks (CSN). The development of this project has been described in past PSMP workshops [1]. The purpose ...
Abstract. This paper introduces a novel framework for designing multiagent systems, called “Distributed Agent Evolution with Dynamic Adaptation to Local Unexpected Scenarios” (...

A multiagent architecture for vehicle and structural health monitoring is proposed. A prototype using this architecture was developed using JADE. Critical aspects of the design wer...

A classic autonomous robot is an autonomous agent for open, unpredictable environments. Such an agent is inherently autonomous but not independent. Independence implies unpredictab...
This paper introduces a reference architecture for developing agent-based systems that preserves core concepts of agenthood while minimizing cumbersome features found in other age...
