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,

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.

Agent TCP/IP: An Agent-to-Agent Transaction System [PDF]
Autonomous agents represent an inevitable evolution of the internet. Current agent frameworks do not embed a standard protocol for agent-to-agent interaction, leaving existing agents isolated from their peers. As intellectual property is the native asset ingested by and produced by agents, a true agent economy requires equipping agents with a universal

An agent framework for dynamic agent retraining: Agent academy [PDF]
Agent Academy (AA) aims to develop a multi-agent society that can train new agents for specific or general tasks, while constantly retraining existing agents in a recursive mode. The system is based on collecting information both from the environment and the behaviors of the acting agents and their related successes/failures to generate a body of data,

An informational study of the evolution of codes and of emerging concepts in populations of agents [PDF]
We consider the problem of the evolution of a code within a structured population of agents. The agents try to maximise their information about their environment by acquiring information from the outputs of other agents in the population. A naive use of information-theoretic methods would assume that every agent knows how to "interpret" the information

Multidisciplinary evaluation of preschool children in a military psychiatry clinic: a 10-year comparison and a brief outcome study. [PDF]
A little over a decade ago, the Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Service at Tripler Army Medical Center opened the Child Study Group (CSG), a multidisciplinary diagnostic team clinic for preschool children.
