Abstract. This paper summarizes a novel framework, called “physicomimetics,” for the distributed control of large collections of mobile physical agents in sensor networks. The ...
Many important and useful applications for software agents require multiple agents on a network that communicate with each other. Such agents must find each other and perform a u...
Information quality assurance despite the existence of uncertainty about sources can be investigated in the context of soft security where an agent maintains trustworthiness evalu...
Traditionally, two alternative design design approaches have been available to engineers: top-down and bottom-up. In the top-down approach, the design process starts with specifyin...
Dynamic environments represent a quite complex domain, where the information available changes continuously. In this paper, a contingency response system for dynamic environments c...
