Artificial neural networks play an important role for pattern recognition tasks. However, due to poor comprehensibility of the learned network, and the inability to represent expl...
a growing need to study abstract problems in distributed multi-agent systems in a systematic way, as well as to provide a qualitative mathematical framework in which to compare po...
We present the MOdel of Organisational Change using Agents (MOCHA) as a means to formally specify, check and simulate organisations and their changes using agents. We define the s...
Protocols enable unambiguous, smooth interactions among agents. Commitments among agents are a powerful means of developing protocols. Commitments enable flexible execution of pro...
Orderings and inference relations can be successfully used to model the behavior of a rational agent. This behavior is indeed represented either by a set of ordered pairs that ref...
