General Guidelines for Design of Affective Multi-Agent Systems

Applied Computer Systems, 2017
The paper presents general guidelines for designing affective multi-agent systems (affective MASs). The guidelines aim at extending the existing agent-oriented software engineering (AOSE) methodologies to enable them to design affective MASs.

An Analysis Architecture for Communications in Multi-agent Systems

International Journal of Interactive Multimedia and Artificial Intelligence, 2013
Evaluation tools are significant from the Agent Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE) point of view. Defective designs of communications in Multi-agent Systems (MAS) may overload one or several agents, causing a bullying effect on them.

Agents in object‐oriented software engineering [PDF]

Software: Practice and Experience, 2004
AbstractSoftware engineers of multi‐agent systems (MASs) are faced with different concerns such as autonomy, adaptation, interaction, collaboration, learning, and mobility, which are essentially different from classical concerns addressed in object‐oriented software engineering.

Agent-Oriented Modelling and Simulation for Robotic Based Predator Control

JOIV: International Journal on Informatics Visualization
Agent-oriented modeling (AOM) is a methodology that can develop complex tasks that involve multi-agent system development, such as robotic systems. There are still insufficient studies on how Agent-Oriented Modelling benefits robotic development.

A survey of agent-oriented methodologies [PDF]

, 1999
This article introduces the current agent-oriented methodologies. It discusses what approaches have been followed (mainly extending existing object oriented and knowledge engineering methodologies), the suitability of these approaches for agent modelling,

Recurrent cancer‐associated ERBB4 mutations are transforming and confer resistance to targeted therapies

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We show that the majority of the 18 analyzed recurrent cancer‐associated ERBB4 mutations are transforming. The most potent mutations are activating, co‐operate with other ERBB receptors, and are sensitive to pan‐ERBB inhibitors. Activating ERBB4 mutations also promote therapy resistance in EGFR‐mutant lung cancer.

Comparison of Multi-Agent Platform Usability for Industrial-Grade Applications

Applied Sciences
Modern systems often employ decentralised and distributed approaches. This can be attributed, among others, to the increasing complexity of system processes, which go beyond the capabilities of singular components. Additionally, with the growth in demand

Measuring the Pro-Activity of Software Agents [PDF]

, 2010
Despite having well-defined characteristics, software agents do not have a developed set of measures defining their quality. Attempts at evaluating software agent quality have focused on some agent aspects, like the development process, whereas others ...
