The software on the internet called internet ware is increasing rapidly. The internet ware has the characteristics of self-adaptation, dynamic collaboration, open, online evolution and environment-awareness. As the composite element, autonomous component should have the self-decision capability to support self-management. This paper proposed an autonomous component entity by extending BDI agent model...
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...
Architecture-centric system is the logical model about self-adaptive goal's achievement of software. Based on this concept, requirement service is the driven power, the strategy definition of self-learning and self-(decision-making) is viewed as inner evolution of architecture's business mechanism. Agent is the basic internetware granularity of architecture, it is to build an architecture-centric...
The paper proposes the design model of WebGIS based on Web and MAS regarding the features of multi-source, heterogeneous structure and geospatial information and the complexity of the system. It introduces the architecture model of WebGIS based on MAS. It conducts a systematic analysis and design for the manager-agent of the model, meanwhile, presents a concrete design for the decision-modular and...
The steadily increasing size and complexity of distributed software systems demand the systematic construction of self-managing software architectures that reduce administrative overheads. Self-adaptive architectures are typically conceived by introducing managing entities which establish closed-loop control mechanism. Here, we propose a fully decentralized, agent-based management architecture that...
The modern sea combat is a typical complex adaptive system (CAS), involving a large number of subjective and qualitative factors, which is difficult to explore for many traditional methods. This paper adopts artificial life to establish a simulation system of modern anti-surface warfare of warship fleet to research the impact of the important subjective and qualitative factors on the warfare result...
Land combat may be described as a nonlinear dynamical system composed of many interacting semi autonomous and hierarchically organized agent continuously adapting to a changing environment. From this point of view agent based structures are suited for modeling and simulating of Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS). Our proposed architecture is a two layer improved hybrid agent architecture and is much more...
This research proposes the use of a belief desire intention (BDI) agent architecture that can be integrated with virtual learning environments (VLE). Thus we are developing and implementing a methodology that considers the main agents in this architecture. The BDI architecture applied in this study was based on Jadex. In addition this platform is standalone and goal oriented thus facilitating the...
We talk about a symbiotic computing and a concept of flexibility of a distributed system on a multi-agent system. A symbiotic computing is a new concept in the future computing model and ambient and social environments. We were proposing and showing a flexibility of a distributed system before this paper. The flexibility of computing system and logical model is a key concept of analysis, design and...
The main focus of this paper is on issues related to communications, load balancing, resource sharing and allocation in a distributed computing system, as applied to battlefield simulation. We present a distributed architecture of a middleware and algorithms for communications, scheduling and load balancing. In the proposed distributed architecture the nodes use the Multi-Token Message Passing Interface...
The paper develops an architecture of Agile Safety Management System of Chemicals Transportation (ASMSCT) based on multi-agent based model and software reusability. The decision maker can be an alliance which deal with management activities involving proactive risk analysis, emergency response and regular safety information service. The top level information model and control model are studied in...
This paper presents an agent-based approach for realizing a new generation of intelligent environments referred to as adaptive ambient ecologies. These are highly distributed systems, which require new ways of communication and collaboration in order to support the realization of people's tasks. We use three types of agents for the main functions of planning, adaptation and interaction. The knowledge...
This paper outlines a new model for the Web inspired by recent research into cognitive science. It is argued that the trend towards decentralisation requires a change from a typical client-server meta-model to one based on the idea of communicating information systems. It is further argued that to accomplish this, one must accept the idea of information as dynamic and embodied. The meta-model described...
The interaction with humans is one of the critical components of modern Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI). Adaptive interfaces are a promising attempt to overcome contemporary problems due to the increasing complexity of human-computer interaction. They are designed to tailor a system's interactive behavior with consideration of both individual needs of human users and altering conditions...
Adaptive e-learning system, deal with appropriate personalization and adaptation techniques in order to maximize the effectiveness of learning. Customer preference and personality are going to be more and more important to e-learning. This paper first hopes to explain the grid agent e-learning model, whose main actions including registry, directory and discovery. Through these actions, the managerpsilas...
Personalized and inclusive eLearning scenarios in scalable open architectures feature several challenges. In particular, to manage, what, when, how and why offering recommendations to users in these scenarios we have designed a recommendations model and a multi-agent architecture. The paper presents the motivations of our work for intelligent support in inclusive eLearning, introduces the approach...
This paper presents iFALCON, a model of BDI (belief-desire-intention) agent that is fully realized as a self-organizing neural network architecture. Based on multichannel network model called fusion ART, iFALCON is developed to bridge the gap between a self-organizing neural network that autonomously adapts its knowledge and the BDI agent model that follows explicit descriptions. Novel techniques...
This paper discusses architecture-centric concept. For its adaptive all-purpose demand, decision-making and belief mechanism of agent is put forward, whose logic relations will be built. According to self-adaptive agent network mechanism, fine-grained service and coarse-grained service defined specifically. By AA/TT engine's topology process, service clusters are selected and optimized as agent group,...
In this paper, a multi-agent based process management system is proposed to modularize, simulate and analyze the existing industrial business process environment dynamically. The different computational agents of the system are presented in a hierarchical architecture, which offers intelligent behavior at different system level. At the bottom level, agents modularize and simulate the typical existing...
Most conventional methods show their disadvantages in modern combat simulation. Multi-agent system (MAS) is an important research field of distributed artificial intelligence (DAI) and it proposes a new way of combat simulation. The focus of this paper is the MAS theory and its application in combat simulation. Definition of agent and MAS was proposed firstly and then the differences between MAS based...
