In cooperative multi-agent systems, roles are used as a design concept when creating large systems, they are known to facilitate specialization of agents, and they can help to redu...
Many approaches of the agent paradigm emphasize the social and intentional features of their systems, what are called social properties. The study of these aspects demands their ow...
In this paper we propose a computational model for human-agent and agent-agent conversation. This model has two fundamental characteristics: (1) it takes into account the implicit ...
Distributed mechanisms that regulate the behavior of autonomous agents in open multi-agent systems (MAS) are of high interest since we cannot employ centralized approaches relying...
This paper introduces a multi-agent system (MAS) approach for modelling social behaviours in children’s play. The children, the dynamics of their play, and the playground are mo...
