This paper presents an agent-based software environment for testing web-based applications. The infrastructure of the system consists of a lightweight agent platform that supports...
Discussions of agent interactions frequently characterize behavior as “coherent,” “collaborative,” “cooperative,” “competitive,” or “coordinated.” We propose a...

We describe a framework that can be used to model and predict the behavior of MASs with learning agents. It uses a difference equation for calculating the progression of an agent&...
Existing task allocation algorithms generally do not consider the effects of task interaction, such as interference, but instead assume that tasks are independent. That assumptio...
