There is growing interest in the study of white matter (WM) variation across subjects, and in particular the analysis of specific WM bundles, to better understand brain development and aging, as well as to improve early detection of some diseases. Several WM multi-subject clustering methods have been proposed to study WM bundles. These methods aim to overcome the complexity of the problem, which includes...
In this paper, we focus on the control problems related to the evaluation of a parallel rule-based systems (RBS), especially on the serializability and rules execution order issues. We express these problems in terms of a coordination problem between certain agents for a common decision-making, and for which we suggest a totally distributed solution using a focal points algorithm [4].
This paper presents a study on how to improve a distributed information collecting system in which information is collected by a multi-agent system constituted by communicating agents, assuming the hypothesis that some agents of this system can deliberately (liar agents) or in good faith (defective agents) produce or communicate incorrect information. To ensure the coherence of the information system...
In this paper, Reactive Multi-Agent Systems handle complex assignment problems as decentralized negotiating problems. Each agent locally acts in order to make the system reach a satisfying configuration. We address here, the designing problem: how to accurately communicate the problem to agents, and increase their ability to coordinate? We identify two main aspects to consider: (1) how to express...
This paper presents a study on how to ensure the coherence of a distributed information system in which information is collected by a multi-agent system with the hypothesis that some agents of the system are dissonant, i.e. can produce or communicate incorrect information.
Collaborative tagging systems are an example of socially-aware, self-organising, complex systems. The multi-agent systems paradigm coordinated by self-organisation mechanisms has been used as an effective way for the design and modeling of such systems. Existing tagging systems do not take full advantage of their complex systems characteristics, especially in adapting to their environment and allowing...
With the proliferation of Web services, it is becoming increasingly important to support the users in selecting the most appropriate compositions of services for a task. We propose a new service discovery and selection framework that utilises the concept of task memories and a social network of task memories. A task memory captures the service composition history and their meta-data such as associated...
The interaction between agents is more than one simple messages exchange: one of the interaction aspects shows a conversation based on a shared and officially agreed messages exchange. The conversations between agents in the multi agents systems (MAS) are often structured according to typical diagrams called interaction protocols. The interaction protocols aspects differ according to the type of the...
The implementation of communication organizational strategies constitutes an essential performance factor. Nowadays, the organization becomes companies competitiveness element (organizational structures), networks, knowledge and competences management, and cooperation. This, to be better reactive to ensure the competing character, to support better new information technologies, concerning the data...
The Web continues to grow at a phenomenal rate and the amount of information on the Web is overwhelming. Finding the relevant information remains a big challenge. Due to its wide distribution, its openness and high dynamics, the WWW is a complex system, for which we have to imagine mechanisms of content maintaining, filtering and organizing that are able to deal with its evolving, dynamics and distribution...
