The confluence of virtual reality and artificial life, an emerging discipline that spans the computational and biological sciences, has yielded synthetic worlds inhabited by reali...
— The agent paradigm has been the subject of much research during the last decade. Recently, security of multiagent systems has gained increased attention. In this paper we consi...
In this chapter, we present some of the biologically-inspired approaches, developed within the context of the European project BIONETS for enabling autonomic pervasive computing en...
Abstract. Research on practical models of autonomous agents has largely focused on a procedural view of goal achievement. This allows for efficient implementations, but prevents an...
Abstract. Software agent technology has attracted much attention for developing various distributed systems, composed of autonomous agents interacting with one another using partic...
