On the Internet of the future, billions of physical objects will collect and exchange data that will be stored in the Cloud Computing. A bad storage structure of big data has a negative influence on the latency time during the client's requests. To solve this problem, we have proposed an Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) for the input and the output of different files on servers' clusters. We have...
In this paper a model of an extended BDI (EBDI) agent with autonomous entities and an architecture of the EBDI agent are introduced. The architecture consists of a beliefs module, a desires module, a decision generation module, an integration module, and a group of autonomous entities. In order to represent EBDI agent's mental attitudes (beliefs, desires, and intentions), we define L_m language of...
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are gaining the attention of researchers around the world. Recently researchers apply the multi-agent paradigm to such domain taking advantage of its research in cognition, deliberation, and mainly coordination mechanisms. The aim of our research is to contribute to the multiple quadcopter simulation area introducing a platform for the design, simulation, and development...
Small-scale Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are gaining the attention of researchers around the world, due to their versatility and performance in both indoor and outdoor applications. The whole project aims to specify and implement a symbiotic simulation platform to assist the design, development and testing of UAVs that use a quad-rotor configuration. Additionally, in this paper we firstly discuss...
The concept of situation is central to the decision making processes of both human and software agents. The recognition of situation facilitates decision processes that ultimately result in action selection. Cognitive agent architectures that incorporate the concept of situation provide the opportunity for more sophisticated representations of human behavior and for more sophisticated decision support...
This paper presents a monitoring and forecasting system for Grid resources, based on Java and agent technologies. Performance monitoring, measurement and forecasting of Grid resources is an active research area, several researches and projects are studying and developing Grid information systems in order to provide users or schedulers with services necessary to determine which grid resource fulfills...
Emerging healthcare applications can benefit enormously from recent advances in pervasive technology and computing. This paper introduces the CLARITY Modular Ambient Health and Wellness Measurement Platform:, which is a heterogeneous and robust pervasive healthcare solution currently under development at the CLARITY Center for Sensor Web Technologies. This intelligent and context-aware platform comprises...
The paper presents an agent-based survey system for wind energy. The wind energy is measured inside of an administrative region. In the first part of the paper a brief introduction in multi-agent systems is presented. The second part describes the hardware and software architecture, the third part presents experimental results and the last one deals with the conclusions. The agents are able to communicate...
A semi-physical simulation framework for multiple unmanned underwater vehicles' (UUVs) coordinate operation, which can complete large-scale reconnaissance in civil, academic military application, is presented. The structure of simulation framework consists of virtual environment unit, vision display unit and UUV control unit. The primary motivation of this simulation framework is test the UUV control...
This paper proposes an agent-based adaptive Architecture to extend Moodle in order to support instructional decisions and adaptive behaviour in engineering education. The paper describes the characteristics, functions, and interactions of the agents which take part in each module of the adaptive architecture. In addition, we describe the origin and function of ToDei, the proposed intelligent agent...
To succeed on the ever-changing conditions on the global market, companies are required to rely on flexible production systems. This applies to numerous domains including batch process automation that relies on flexible multipurpose facilities. In this paper we introduce an agent-based approach for batch process automation showing an architecture for a multi-agent system that provides such flexibility...
Managing and arbitrating behaviours, processes and components in multilayered cognitive architectures when a huge amount of environmental variables are changing continuously with increasing complexity, ensue in a very comprehensive task. The presented framework proposes an hybrid cognitive architecture that relies on subsumption theory and includes some important extensions. These extensions can be...
This paper presents a model for the interaction between context-aware virtual agents and the environment in which they are situated. This model applies to multiagent based simulation systems dealing with human-like virtual agents in decentralized, continuous, and dynamic environments. The model supports an extensible agent perception module, allowing agents to perceive their environment through multiple...
Emerging trends in software development has been changed due to the huge amount of data, growth of internet, mobile, dynamic and smart applications. Most of such applications consist of small, intelligent, flexible and distributed components known as agents. Number of agent methodologies has been presented but few of these are evaluated and verified. Due to the invention of agent technology, the way...
Organized intelligent communications can effectively improve the surveillance quality for wireless sensor networks. In this paper, we propose a decentralized Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) oriented system that adopts the BDI mental architecture for wireless sensor networks. It tunes the sensor operational parameters in order to reduce the power consumption upon the satisfactory of the situational awareness...
The testbed allows experimenting with highlevel distributed information fusion, dynamic resource management and configuration management given multiple constraints on the resources and their communication networks. The testbed provides general services that are useful for testing many information fusion applications. Services include a multi-layer plug-and-play architecture, and a general multi-agent...
The traffic congestion problem in urban areas is worsening since traditional traffic signal control systems cannot provide efficient traffic control. Therefore, dynamic traffic signal control in intelligent transportation system (ITS) recently has received increasing attention. This study devised an adaptive and cooperative multi-agent fuzzy system for a decentralized traffic signal control. To achieve...
Manufacturing systems have become very complex, and the traditional hierarchical and centralized approaches are not adequate any more. Decentralized approaches are considered promising, but they are not yet sufficiently understood for widespread industrial application. In particular, agent-based control has not yet achieved its potential, so that more research is still required. Therefore, we propose...
Currently employed manufacturing systems are very often historically grown systems that can comprise several different technologies of control software. Linking these diverse control subsystems in the manufacturing domain is therefore of vital importance to ensure the system's functionality. In this paper we introduce an agent-based approach with agents that integrate a high level control layer and...
In intelligent inhabited environments (IIEs), the different user's preferences and needs are different, and the same user's preferences will change over time, which desire that the intelligent agents have evolvement function. In this paper, we propose a new fuzzy control system that is embedded in the intelligent agent which is a function agent in Multi-Agent System (MAS) based on ZigBee wireless...
