Abstract. Motivated by demands from the commercial world for software systems that can assist in the reorganisation of processes for the purpose of reducing business complexity, we...
The Predictive Linear Gaussian model (or PLG) improves upon traditional linear dynamical system models by using a predictive representation of state, which makes consistent parame...
The development of Multi-Agent Systems (MASs) involves special concerns, such as interaction, adaptation, autonomy, among others. Many of these concerns are overlapping, crosscut e...
—“Autonomic systems” merge advancements in the field of multi-agent software design, dynamic analysis, and decentralized control in order to assist designers in constructing...
Many approaches of the agent paradigm emphasize the social and intentional features of their systems, what are called social properties. The study of these aspects demands their ow...
