Abstract:

Interdependence relationships have defined the foundation of cooperation between agents but limited by existing protocols. As a consequence, the idle agents are not able to join and benefit through it. First, the inter-relationship has been studied and certified for the purpose of securing mutual gains. Next, the join coalition mechanism is proposed to help idle agents to join existing macroscopic and microscopic coalitions which are based on the goals compatibilities, budget and trust

Abstract:

Multi-agent systems have been used in a wide range of applications from computer-based simulations and mobile robots to agent-oriented programming and intelligent systems in real environments. However, the largest environment in which software agents can interact is, without any doubt, the World Wide Web and ever since its birth agents have been used in various applications such as search engines, e-commerce, and most recently the semantic web. However, agents have yet to be used on the Web in a way that leverages the full power of artificial intelligence and multi-agent systems, which have th

Abstract:

A multi-agent system (MAS) is usually understood as a system composed of interacting autonomous agents. In this sense, MAS have been employed successfully as a modelling paradigm in a number of scenarios, especially in Computer Science. However, the process of modelling complex and heterogeneous systems is intrinsically prone to errors: for this reason, computer scientists are typically concerned with the issue of verifying that a system actually behaves as it is supposed to, especially when a system is complex. Techniques have been developed to perform this task: testing is the most common te

Abstract:

Although much progress has been made in engineering multi-agent systems (MAS), many issues remain to be resolved. One issue is that there is a lack of techniques that can adequately evaluate the effectiveness (fault detection ability) of tests or testing techniques for MAS. Another is that there are no systematic approaches to evaluating the impact of possible semantic changes (changes in the interpretation of agent programs) on agents' behaviour and performance. This thesis introduces syntactic and semantic mutation to address these two issues. Syntactic mutation is a technique that systemati

Abstract:

The seamless retrieval of information distributed across networks has been one of the key goals of many systems. Early solutions involved the use of single static agents which would retrieve the unfiltered data and then process it. However, this was deemed costly and inefficient in terms of the bandwidth since complete files need to be downloaded when only a single value is often all that is required. As a result, mobile agents were developed to filter the data in situ before returning it to the user. However, mobile agents have their own associated problems, namely security and control. The A

This facilitates implementation on digital platforms such as microprocessors and reduces the number of interagent communications over the network.

Abstract:

In the past ten years several methods have been put forward for the efficient model checking of multiagent systems against agent-based specifications. Yet, since the number of states is exponential in the number of agents in the system, the model checking problem remains intractable for systems of many agents. This is particularly problematic when wishing to reason about unbounded systems where the number of components is not known at design time. Systems ranging from robotic swarms to e-commerce applications constitute typical examples in which the number of participants is independent of the

Abstract:

The actions and interactions of independently acting agents in a multi-agent system must be managed if the agents are to function effectively in their shared environment. Norms, which define the obligatory, prohibited and permitted actions for an agent to perform, have been suggested as a possible method for regulating the actions of agents. Norms are local rules designed to govern the actions of individual agents whilst also allowing the agents to achieve a coherent global behaviour. However, there appear to be very few instances of norm-governed multi-agent systems beyond theoretical example

This thesis is an investigation of methods and architectures for autonomous multi-agent reconfigurable controllers. As part of the analysis two components are looked at: the fault detection and diagnosis (FDD) component and the controller reconfiguration (CR) component. The FDD component detects and diagnoses faults. The CR component on the other hand, adapts or changes the control architecture to accommodate the fault. The problem is to synchronize or integrate these two components in the overall structure of a control system. A novel approach is proposed. A multiagent architecture is used to

Abstract:

During the last decade, the problem of consensus in Multi-Agent Systems (MASs) has been studied with special emphasis on graph theoretical methods. Consensus can be regarded as a control objective in which all the agents in a network converge to (or agree “upon”) a common value. This is achieved through a given control strategy usually referred to as consensus algorithm. The consensus problem in MASs becomes more challenging in the presence of agents that can join and leave the network, hence the so-called “open” multi-agent systems.

In the event of battle, various weapons might attack a ship. When a weapon hits the ship it can cause severe damage to the electrical system on the ship. This damage can lead to de-energization of critical loads on a ship that can eventually decrease a ships ability to survive the attack. It is

Abstract:

Debugging multi-agent systems, which are concurrent, distributed, and consist of complex components is difficult, yet crucial. The development of these complex systems is supported by agent-oriented software engineering methodologies which utilise agents as the central design metaphor. The systems that are developed are inherently complex since the components of these systems may interact in flexible and sophisticated ways and traditional debugging techniques are not appropriate. Despite this, very little effort has been applied to developing appropriate debugging tools and techniques.

We show hardness results from both the information-theoretic and computational aspects for several fundamental optimization problems in the submodular setting, and provide matching approximation algorithms for most of them.

We investigate the class of RMA systems from four perspectives, these are two basic properties of the dynamical system, one formula for computing the Morse indices/co-indices of critical formations, and one formation control model as a variation of the class of RMA

Abstract:

Service-oriented computing is an increasingly popular approach for providing applications, computational resources and business services over highly distributed and open systems (such as the Web, computational Grids and peer-to-peer systems). In this approach, service providers advertise their offerings by means of standardised computer-readable descriptions, which can then be used by software applications to discover and consume appropriate services without human intervention. However, despite active research in service infrastructures, and in service discovery and composition mechanisms, lit

Abstract:

This thesis presents existential abstraction techniques for multi-agent systems preserving temporal-epistemic specifications. Multi-agent systems, defined in the interpreted system frameworks, are abstracted by collapsing the local states and actions of each agent. The goal of abstraction is to reduce the state space of the system under investigation in order to cope with the state explosion problem that impedes the verification of very large state space systems. Theoretical results show that the resulting abstract system simulates the concrete one. Preservation and correctness theorems are pr
