Beliefs, obligations, intentions, and desires as components in an agent architecture
2005

We study how to break down an agent specification into a specification of individual components and a specification of their coordination. ...
In this paper we discuss how cognitive attitudes like beliefs, obligations, intentions and desires can be represented as components with input/output functionality. ...

Coordinating the Crowd: Inducing Desirable Equilibria in Non-Cooperative Systems
[article]
2019
arXiv
pre-print
We propose an incentive-design method which modifies agents' rewards in non-cooperative multi-agent systems that results in independent, self-interested agents choosing actions that produce optimal system ...
Our framework combines multi-agent reinforcement learning to simulate (real-world) agent behaviour and black-box optimisation to determine the optimal modifications to the agents' rewards or incentives ...
Multi-agent systems (MASs) in which agents act non-cooperatively to maximise their own interests are modelled by Markov game (MGs). ...

Cutting through the biofuel confusion: A conceptual framework to check the feasibility, viability and desirability of biofuels
2021
Energy Strategy Reviews
The proposed framework generates a biophysical characterization of the supply function of a biofuel system (which inputs are needed to generate the supply) contextualized against a biophysical characterization ...
This paper presents a novel conceptual framework that integrates four key aspects of the performance of biofuels: (1) the social factors determining the desirability of biofuel use on the demand sidewhy ...
Conclusions In this paper, we presented a conceptual framework to characterize and contextualize in quantitative terms the performance of biofuel systems in terms of feasibility, viability, desirability ...

Neke primene nove funkcije poželjnosti u simultanoj višekriterijumskoj optimizaciji
In the framework of multi-response optimization techniques, the optimization methodology based on the desirability function is one of the most popular and most frequently used methodologies by researchers ...
Recently, a novel desirability function for multi-response optimization is proposed, which is smooth, nonlinear, and differentiable, and thus more suitable for applying some of the more efficient gradient-based ...
In addition, an exact method was suggested (developed under the RSM framework) for determining the favorable shape parameters in desirability functions. ...

An Intelligence-Aware Process Calculus for Multi-Agent System Modeling
2007
2007 International Conference on Integration of Knowledge Intensive Multi-Agent Systems
In this paper we propose an agent modeling language named CAML that provides a comprehensive frameworkfor representing all relevant aspects of a multiagent system: specially, its configuration and the ...
The configuration modeling aspect of the language supports natural grouping and mobility, and the reasoning framework is inspired by an extension of the popular BDI theory of modeling cognitive skills ...
The proposed formalism, named Complete Agent Modeling Language (CAML), is a process algebra that promises a formal framework in which a comprehensive model of multi-agent systems may be represented, including ...

Logic-Based Agent Verification
2007
Journal of Applied Logic
Model checking consists of building a finite model of a (multi-agent) system and checking whether a desired property holds in that model [1]. ...
As an outgrowth of this early research, work on this topic has evolved into three main subtopics: formal agent modeling, formal verification of multi-agent systems, and applications research. ...
First, they provide a formal semantics for AUML, which is a composition of temporal logic and game theoretic semantics. ...

An abstract representation model for evolutionary analysis of multi-agent interactions
2011
2011 IEEE Congress of Evolutionary Computation (CEC)
The communication between different agents interacting in an integrated multi-agents system can be managed through a set of steering rules, which together form interaction protocols. ...
Intelligent agents are able to assist human in managing highly dynamic and complex systems in various knowledge intensive domains. ...
Thus, a communication for a protocol in the argumentation framework can be simply modeled by a sequence of morphisms and their compositions. ...

We perform a survey of the available formal theories and tools for Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) and derive a strong motivation for a new formal framework to support AOSE. ...
Agent frameworks with formal foundations have an important role to play in this scenario by allowing analysis based on a mathematical model. ...
A new formal framework for multi-agent systems In the following we briefly present the new framework, named MAML (for Multi Agent Modeling Language), specially in contrast with the issues discussed in ...

2000
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
This model allows for a simple description of both individual and collective multi-agent system aspects. ...
The framework we use to give a formal description of this model is based on a multi-formalism approach. We illustrate this approach through a case study. ...
We have thus chosen to use a multi-formalism approach that results of the composition of Object-Z [3] and statecharts [11] . ...

A Cognitive Model for Multi-Agent Collaboration
2014
International Journal of Intelligence Science
In multi-agent system, agents work together for solving complex tasks and reaching common goals. In this paper, we propose a cognitive model for multi-agent collaboration. ...
These approaches are integrated in one agent that will make multi-agent collaboration more practical in the real world. ...
This unified framework also fits to multi-agent system. A multi-agent system at a time t in state s 0 , s 0 usually consists of a series of attributes and values to characterize. ...
