The software agents and multi-agent systems will be one of the landmark technologies in computer science that will bring extra theoretical power, methods and techniques that will broaden the field of computer applications. The objective of this paper is to use the software agents for extracting data from different sources intelligently and provide an optimal travel plan for a traveler. Planning for...
If we imagine a dynamic environment whose behavior may change in time we can figure out the difficulties that agents located there will have trying to solve problems related to this environment. Changes in an environment e.g. a market, can be quite drastic: from changing the dependencies of some products to add new actions to build new products. The agents should try to cooperate or compete against...
Coalition formation in social networks allows many choices of which task to select and with whom to partner in the social network. Agents communicate with agents within n network links in their surrounding network. These agents are considered part of an agentpsilas local neighborhood. Agents maintain a database of skills possessed by agents in their local neighborhood. We compare agents of two different...
Necessity to mind a huge amount of factors while developing modern enterprises models dictates new requirements for modeling software, which needs to process all data to achieve precise results, make use of all possible means for that, such as distributed calculations and introduce original approaches where possible to avoid extra time waste for multiple simulation experiments. The article focuses...
Autonomic computing is a newly emerging computing paradigm in order to create computer systems capable of self-management and overcome the rapidly growing complexity of computing systems management. To possess self-* properties, there must be mechanisms to support self-awareness, i.e., an autonomic system should be able to perceive the abnormality of its components. After abnormality is checked, a...
Agent-based computing environments provide the capability to establish an enterprise of autonomous agents that collaborate and share information on common interests. Discovery of new data can alert users to changes in the information environment of importance to them. The goal of this research is to define an agent environment that models an organization's tacit knowledge. This document proposes a...
The paradigm of service-oriented computing (SOC) introduces emerging concepts for distributed- and e-business processing enabling the sharing and reuse of service-centric capabilities. The underpinning for an organization's use of SOC techniques is the ability to discover and compose Web services. Leading industry approaches rely heavily on syntactical approaches for managing service-based business...
During the last two years we have developed the Tiancalli project. This project includes the construction of TAC SCM compliant agents. The TAC SCM is a contest about different software agents competing in a simulated market that has been organized for four years by Trading Agent Research Group. In order to find the strength and weakness of our agent, we have made a statistic research with both 2005...
Agent-based e-business opens up a computational direction, in which software agents behave on behalf of their owners. However, enabling agents to make decisions and exploiting information to other unknown agents have introduced some security challenges among them is trust relationship while agents are dealing with unknown environments and their residences. Despite existing of some sophisticated proposed...
The field of software agents is a rapidly developing in computer science. The need for agent reusability is now being felt in various applications and environments. Design patterns provide solutions to rapidly building agents in a contextual problem. Various patterns have been developed and documented for both single and multiagent systems (MAS). This paper discusses one such pattern (agent launch...
