Innovations in multi-agent systems
Journal of Network and Computer Applications, 2007This paper outlines an abridged history of agents as a guide for the reader to understand the trends and directions of future agent design. This description includes how agent technologies have developed using increasingly sophisticated techniques. It also indicates the transition of formal programming languages into object-oriented programming and how

Programming multi-agent systems
The Knowledge Engineering Review, 2005PROMAS (Programming Multi-Agent Systems) is an AgentLink technical forum that aims to bring together the researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry to discuss the problems related to the development of multi-agent systems and to evaluate the existing proposals and results.

Semantics in Multi-agent Systems
2012In a large scale, open and distributed environment, interoperability is a key issue which requires a formal definition of the semantics of data model, processes, and knowledge. In this respect, conforming to standards is a first step towards enabling interoperation of autonomous systems.

Abstractions of Multi-agent Systems
2007With the recent development of many model-checkers for the temporal logic of knowledge, abstraction techniques are necessary to increase the size of the systems that can be verified. In this paper, we introduce several abstraction techniques for interpreted systems and we prove several preservation results.

Consensus in multi-agent systems
Wiley Encyclopedia of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, 2016Many cooperative behaviors of multi-agent teams emerge from local interactions among the agents, where an agent interacts with a few “adjacent” teammates, but has no information about the remaining agents. For instance, the selforganization of many biological populations – including swarms of insects, flocks of birds, and schools of fish – are based on

A Multi-agent System for Microgrids
2004This paper presents the capabilities offered by multiagent system technology in the operation of a microgrid. A microgrid is a new type of power system, which is formed by the interconnection of small, modular generation to low voltage distribution systems.

Proceedings of the 2001 joint ACM-ISCOPE conference on Java Grande, 2001
The multi-agent research community is currently faced with a paradox. While promoting the use of agents as the silver bullet for various software engineering problems, it faces difficulties in presenting successful deployments. Despite the countless multi-agent prototypes that have been developed, the number of actually deployed and in use MAS is at ...

This is a research proposal, aiming to improve tooling and features of agent-oriented programming languages, in particular Jason, to handle virtual time and real-time deadlines. The main idea is to apply known techniques and patterns from asynchronous programming in classical programming languages, and extend Jason as necessary.

Testing in Multi-Agent Systems
2011Testing software agents and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) needs suitable techniques to evaluate agent's autonomous behaviours as well as distribution, social and deliberative properties, which are particular to these systems. This paper reviews testing methods and techniques with respect to the MAS properties they are able to address.

Research in Multi-Agent Systems has revealed that Agents must enter into a relationship voluntarily in order to collaborate, otherwise that collaborative efforts may fail [1,2]. When examining this problem, trust becomes the focus in promoting the ability to collaborate, however trust itself is defined from several perspectives.
