In this paper we describe a multi-agent simulation called the Human Agent Virtual Environment (or HAVE). HAVE is a test bed to explore agent-environment interaction in multi-agent simulation for defence applications. The primary research driver in the ...

Over the past few years, swarm based systems have emerged as an attractive paradigm for building large scale distributed systems composed of numerous independent but coordinating units. In our previous work, we have developed a protoype system called ...

This paper describes a Multi-Agent System intended for assisting military commanders and intelligence analysts in the discovery and analysis of publicly available information that may have intelligence value (Open Source Intelligence, or OSINT). Our ...

Reasoning about agents that we observe in the world is challenging. Our available information is often limited to observations of the agent's external behavior in the past and present. To understand these actions, we need to deduce the agent's internal ...

Paper presents multi-agent system for social services based on social passport and smart cards of citizens. It describes developed approach based on agents and ontologies, architecture of the system and its specific features. It is shown that ...

The paper describes functionality of Magenta Multi-Agent Logistics i-Scheduler Engine presented on AAMAS 2006 conferences and gives examples of its application in business domain.

The i-Scheduler Engine was designed to be scalable without risk of ...

This demo features FearNot!, a school-based Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) populated by synthetic characters representing the various actors in a bullying scenario. FearNot! uses emergent narrative to create improvised dramas with those characters. ...

Mobile agents require access to computing resources on heterogeneous systems across the Internet. This demo illustrates how agents can negotiate terms and conditions of resource access with one or more mediators representing virtual organizations of ...

21^st Century Systems, Inc. (21CSI) has developed a prototype software system that uses intelligent agents to assist in the decluttering of net-centric command and control (C2) displays. The software is called ARID, or Agent-based Reduction of ...

This demonstration highlights different aspects of the bottom-up assembly of multi-agent teams; illustrating trust evaluation of potential partners via experience- and reputation-based trust models, multi-dimensional trust evaluation of potential ...

We examine data collected from on-line assessments of the numeracy and literacy skills of young students in order to construct probabilistic agent-based controllers. We demonstrate the value of this methodology as an effective means for both analyzing ...

In this paper, we propose a real-time moving target search algorithm for dynamic and partially observable environments, modeled as grid world. The proposed algorithm, Real-time Moving Target Evaluation Search (MTES), is able to detect the closed ...

Air traffic flow management is one of the fundamental challenges facing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) today. The FAA estimates that in 2005 alone, there were over 322,000 hours of delays at a cost to the industry in excess of three billion ...

Multi-agent models have been used to simulate complex systems in many domains. In some models, the agents move in a physical/grid space and are constrained by their locations on the spatial space, e.g. Sugarscape. In others, the agents interact in a ...

Coalition formation is an important form of interaction in multiagent systems. It enables the agents to satisfy tasks that they would otherwise be unable to perform, or would perform with a lower efficiency. The focus of our work is on real-world ...

From a multiagent viewpoint, a workflow is a dynamic set of tasks performed by a set of agents to reach a shared goal. We show herein that commitments among agents can be used to model a workflow and coordinate their execution of it. From a service-...

Engaging in negotiations is a daily activity. Some negotiations require the involvement of a mediator in order to be concluded in a satisfying manner. In such cases, the objective is to help the negotiators reach a mutually beneficial agreement [6, 4]. ...

Multi-issue negotiations are a central part of many coordination challenges, and thus represent an important research topic. Almost all previous work in this area has assumed that negotiation issues are independent, but this is rarely the case in real-...

This paper presents an applicable model for complex multi-attribute negotiations between autonomous agents. The model adopts a novel protocol which decomposes the original n-dimensional negotiation space into a series of negotiation base lines and in ...

This paper proposes a context-dependent case-based mechanism for selecting negotiation partners with the focus on the adaptation of similarity relations to a specific context. The similarity relations are important part of the reasoning mechanism and ...
