Software Agents Interaction Algorithms in Virtual Learning Environment [PDF]
This paper highlights the multi-agent learning virtual environment and agents communication algorithms. The researcher proposed three algorithms required software agents interaction in virtual learning information system environment. The first proposed algorithm is agents interaction localization algorithm, the second one is the dynamic agents ...

Languages for Mobile Agents [PDF]
Mobile agents represent a new model for network computing. Many different languages have been used to implement mobile agents. The characteristics that make a language useful for writing mobile agents are: (1) their support of agent migration, (2) their support for agent-to-agent communication, (3) how they allow agents to interact with local resources,

Impulse control disorders in Parkinson's disease [PDF]
Since the original descriptions of hedonistic homeostatic dysregulation syndrome and pathological gambling in Parkinson's disease, impulse control disorders, such as compulsive spending, punding, or binge eating, are increasingly recognized. Although the

VAIN: Attentional Multi-agent Predictive Modeling [PDF]
Multi-agent predictive modeling is an essential step for understanding physical, social and team-play systems. Recently, Interaction Networks (INs) were proposed for the task of modeling multi-agent physical systems, INs scale with the number of interactions in the system (typically quadratic or higher order in the number of agents).

Probabilistic Agent Programs [PDF]
Agents are small programs that autonomously take actions based on changes in their environment or ``state.'' Over the last few years, there have been an increasing number of efforts to build agents that can interact and/or collaborate with other agents.

Constructive agents nullify the ability of destructive agents to foster cooperation in public goods games [PDF]
Existing studies have revealed a paradoxical phenomenon in public goods games, wherein destructive agents, harming both cooperators and defectors, can unexpectedly bolster cooperation. Building upon this intriguing premise, our paper introduces a novel concept: constructive agents, which confer additional benefits to both cooperators and defectors.
