Supporting group decision-making is a complex process, especially when decision-makers have no opportunity to gather at the same place and at the same time. Besides that, finding solutions may be difficult in case agents representing decision-makers are not able to understand the process and support them accordingly. In this work we present some topics of information that can be reported to decision-makers...
Today, more and more people like to take kinds of vehicles to travel, there are so many tourists and vehicles at every scenic, as a result, how to effectively solve problems between ecological environment protection and tourist development, how to wisely handle abnormal events of the scenes, such as quick response for incidences, safety of tourists, people/vehicles evacuation and so on. In this paper,...
This paper describes a system that is being developed for providing services to support elderly residents in assisted living facilities. Passive RFID tags and readers are used as the basic sensor modality to distinguish people and objects. An intelligent multiagent system with a distributed topology enables local decision making without the need for a centralized server or database. Rather than use...
The following topics are dealt with: classification, clustering and segmentation; database and ontology; type-2 fuzzy logic systems and control; image processing; decision making; forecasting and prediction; intelligent data mining; GIS and traffic; neural networks; intelligent agents and fuzzy multi-agent systems; possibility theory; and credibility theory.
International competition and dynamically changing customer demands lead SME's to join dynamically formed, `smart' enterprise networks aiming to increase their competitiveness and market share. Supporting such networks with decision making related to collaborations and providing adaptive user interfaces are key challenges. In this paper, we use furniture manufacturing SME's as a case study and we...
The Ant colony algorithm is an intelligent algorithm with its better robustness and parallelism, as well as the advantage combined easily with other algorithms. Each ant Agent does not need to have a comprehensive understanding to the every aspect of the system so the individual Agent is considered as the main object of study. In the paper, supermarket customer subdivision model was researched by...
This paper describes an application of a distributed knowledge-based multi-agent architecture to support automated negotiation between and within virtual enterprises (VE). Considering constraints of traditional negotiation approaches (predetermined protocols as well as hard-coded and non-adaptive strategies), we combine the agent paradigm with ontology-based solutions to overcome these limitations...
With the supplier data of supermarket, the business intelligence system was developed. The paper made use of data guiding into and guiding out service tool of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 as ETL tool. A mass of data needed for analyzing and decisionmaking were separated from affair database by taking out, transition, cleanout, loading. The data warehouse facing supplier theme was established by Microsoft...
The taboo state is introduced in environment to discovery sub-goal. Agent samples trajectories from starting state to goal state, which contain different bottlenecks. Then the different tasks are submitted to agent. According to whether the task is accomplished or not, the bottlenecks among them are discovered. The appropriate bottlenecks are selected as sub-goal of options to be constructed according...
A decision making architecture for intelligent agents is presented in this paper. It allows agents to perform autonomous behavior with respect to its own goals and cooperation with other agents. We focus on computational agents that encapsulate various methods of computational intelligence, such as neural networks, genetic algorithms, and similar methods. The goal of these agents is typically to solve...
Evacuation is an important issue that all occupants should be able to evacuate to safety from large public buildings under emergency. In this paper, present an individual decision-making model based on agent technology. For this model, a computer program is developed to simulate the flow phenomenon of crowd pedestrian. Three cases have been studied where arching, clogging of pedestrians at the exit...
Often the only solution for many complex and dynamic real-world situations is a crucial concurrent cooperation and coordination divided into tasks and subtasks, i.e. team behavior [1]. This research focus on such problems under real-time constraints, distributed control and decentralized knowledge. Existent frameworks and simulation systems were designed relying heavily on a priori knowledge of experts...
Credit risk forms an enormous source of losses for money lending institutions. Mechanisms and models to implement early warning credit risk systems have been put in place to aid business risk managers make well-informed decisions. With the establishment of credit reference bureaus (CRB), it's imperative to have a real-time mechanism of collecting data, analyzing it and reporting the knowledge in it...
A new modeling methodology that enables represent the urban traffic system (UTS) dynamic entities using a multi-agent event oriented approach is presented. The methodology uses an enhanced n-Level net system (n-LNS) formalism of Petri nets. The first level describes the traffic network and UTS static and dynamic information objects; the second level describes the general entity behavior (activity...
This paper had done a crowd evacuation simulation based on a hierarchical environmental model. An environment modeling software had been implemented which can be used to construct an environment model consisted of geometric level, topological level, path level and cognitive level. The environment model can provide many supports for visual effect, sensing, path planning, decision-making, and interaction...
Trust management is important for agent cooperation and security in multi-agent system. Based on rough sets theory, a new trust evaluation method is proposed. The method divides attributes into necessary or unnecessary, calculates attribute weight, and then evaluates trust values by using a decision-making method. Finally, an example shows that it is efficient to evaluate trust by using the method.
Collaborative design is an engineering process that involves decision-making through iterative communication and coordination among product designers throughout the lifecycle of product. In order to increasing openness and flexibility, a framework of distributed platform for collaborative design based on Web services and Agent technology is proposed. Web services are the foundation of system, and...
RoboCupRescue simulation system aims at simulating large-scale disasters in order to explore coordination strategies for real-life rescue missions. Rules of fire propagation are complex, so most teams only use some features of fire for decision, and it lead to the limitation of the fire forecasting and decision-making. This article introduces a kind of simplified fire propagation model based on the...
In the current age of recession, human resource department of every organization is facing a real challenging task of recruiting right talent peoples who can do the project in different problem domain and complete it within timeline. The main responsibility of any HR personnel is to propose right talent pool to the interviewers to save their time in selecting the right talent for their organization...
This paper proposes Constrained Rationality, a formal qualitative goals and constraints reasoning framework for single and multi agents to analyze and rationalize about strategic decisions/conflicts. The framework suggests bringing back the strategic decision making problem to its roots: reasoning about options/alternatives, not to satisfy a set of preferences, but rather to satisfy the explicitly...
