: This paper describes a new approach for the creation of an adaptive system able to selectively combine dynamic multidimensional information sources to perform state estimation. T...
A helpful abstraction of a group of agents is a set of interacting roles, or sets of normative behaviors, that the agents can assume. An important characteristic of real-world agen...

While existing mathematical descriptions can accurately account for phenomena at microscopic scales (e.g. molecular dynamics), these are often high-dimensional, stochastic and thei...
Abstract. Distributed cooperative applications (e.g., e-commerce) are now increasingly being designed as a set of autonomous entities, named agents, which interact and coordinate (...
We survey recent research in which the impact of an embodied conversational agent on human-computer interaction has been assessed through a human evaluation. In some cases, the eva...
