Although argumentation has been a prominent topic of research in artificial intelligence and in particular agent communication, there has been little work on practical (but provably sound) argumentation approaches integrated with agent programming languages. In this paper, we develop a formally-grounded mechanism for practical argumentation-based dialogues in an agent platform based on a multi-agent...
Software-defined networks (SDN), an emergent paradigm for network management, define abstractions to represent network entities and logically centralize them in a network controller. We argue that SDN's abstraction is the most promising way to successfully create agent-based architectures to control and manage large-scale parts of the Internet. This article makes a strong case for these architectures...
In automated multi-attribute negotiation, negotiation agent can get a better deal by using heuristic methods to make effective tradeoff or concession between different attributes. In this paper, we proposed a multi-attribute negotiation model based on internal factors argumentation which allows exchanging private information as argumentation, and then can reach ideal results without complex computation...
This paper addresses the challenges faced by everyday Web users, who interact with inherently heterogeneous and distributed information. Managing such data is currently beyond the skills of casual users. We describe ongoing work that has as its goal the development of foundations for declarative distributed data management. In this approach, we see the Web as a knowledge base consisting of distributed...
Establishing automatic interaction among reasoning components is a vital issue to exploit Knowledge-Based System. But traditional Conceptual Method can not solve this problem effectively. For this, the primary objective of this paper is to research automatic interactions among the reasoning components without assumptions using multiple Agents. Firstly, a distributed environment oriented to knowledge...
HEARTFAID project is to devise, develop and validate an advanced and innovative technological platform of services and end-user applications aiming at contributing towards the optimization of the clinical management of HF and the reduction of the economic and social costs, by collecting, integrating and processing all types of the above mentioned biomedical data and information. In particular, the...
In ambient intelligence (AmI) environments, some services provided by AmI devices are often not visible to users and to other devices. The existing approaches deal with services' composition and discovery as two independent parts. In this paper, we propose an alternative approach based on logical reasoning agent system. This system is supported by a communication protocol where agents discover automatically...
Anti-islanding protection of distributed generation (DG) is a significant technical barrier for the DG industry. This paper presents an innovative agent brokering-based anti-islanding scheme developed in response to the challenge. The scheme enables relay operational signals to be transferred to downstream DG units for coordinating their connection status using the multi-agent system (MAS) technology...
Digital Earth (DE) is a virtual presentation of the planet based on geographic coordinate, and is an information system with tremendous amount of multiple resolutions and multiple scales data as shown in multiple dimensions. It can visualize the real earth and represent historical phenomena in digital way by using the large amount of data of the earth, and utilizing the computer techniques, image...
Recent years have seen a proliferation of work on the Semantic Web, an initiative to enable intelligent agents to reason about and utilize World Wide Web content and services. Concurrently, the networking community has developed a concept of the knowledge plane, using artificial intelligence to reason about and manage network behavior. These two efforts have progressed independently despite potential...
Over the last two decades, many online argumentation systems have been developed that support humans in arguing with one another on specific topics. Many of these have been studies in the academic laboratory, though a few of the larger-scale projects have been used in the wild. More recently, spurred perhaps by high-visibility arguments with strong, explicit argumentative structure such as the Iraq...
This work applies the theory of knowledge in distributed systems to the design of faulttolerant protocols for problems involving coordinated simultaneous actions in synchronous systems. We give a simple method for transforming specifications of such problems into high-level protocols programmed using explicit tests of whether certain facts are common knowledge. The resulting protocols are optimal...
