Abstract:
In this study, a café choice problem, which is an extension of Arthur's El Farol problem, is formulated, and is examined by an agent-based simulation. In the café choice problem, N agents predict a café's "congestion," and determine which café to visit. The N agents prefer less congested cafés because they are more relaxing. The agent is assumed to know the state of congestion of only the café he visits, and he learns to predict the café's congestion. The simulation results can be summarized as follows: (i) the agent is not necessarily acquiring the correct cognition for the café's congestion,

Abstract:
In the efficient social choice problem, the goal is to assign values, subject to side constraints, to a set of variables to maximize the total utility across a population of agents, where each agent has private information about its utility function. In this paper we model the social choice problem as a distributed constraint optimization problem (DCOP), in which each agent can communicate with other agents that share an interest in one or more variables. Whereas existing DCOP algorithms can be easily manipulated by an agent, either by misreporting private information or deviating from the alg

In this paper, we extend and modify the ERA approach proposed in Ref. 13 to solve Propositional Satisfiability Problems (SATs).

The environment, which is a two-dimensional cellular environment, records and updates the local values that are computed and affected according to the movements of individual agents. In solving a SAT with the ERA approach, we first divide variables into several groups, and represent each variable group

We find that our Branch and Bound algorithm returns optimal solutions to the problems with up to 60 jobs when the number of agents is 5, and up to 30 jobs when the number of agents is 10, in less than 20 minutes.

I show that when an agent (in the thesis called 'agent employer') is deciding whether to employ or not to employ a worker, his motivation is different compared to principal's.

Multi-agent path finding is the problem of navigating multiple agents from their current locations to their goal locations in such a way that there are no collisions between the agents. The classical definition of the problem assumes that the set of agents is unchangeable, and that the distances in the graph are homogeneous. We propose to add to the problem specification a set of new attributes to bring it closer to the real world. These attributes include varying distances, number of agents that can occupy an edge or node, and dynamic appearance of new agents.

Abstract:
The general objective of this study was to develop rationally designed mimetic antagonists (and agonists) of the PK/PBAN Np class with enhanced bio-stability and bioavailability as prototypes for effective and environmentally friendly pest insect management agents. The PK/PBAN family is a multifunctional group of Nps that mediates key functions in insects (sex pheromone biosynthesis, cuticular melanization, myotropic activity, diapause and pupal development) and is, therefore, of high scientific and applied interest. The objectives of the current study were: (i) to identify an antagonist bioph
