Book excerpt: Nesta dissertação, apresenta-se uma abordagem para regular a interação dosagentes que fazem parte de um sistema multi-agente aberto. Em sistemas abertos, os agentes podem ser não-cooperativos, estão imersos em um ambiente altamenteimprevisível e, freqüentemente, os outros agentes que compõem o sistemanão são conhecidos a priori. Para algumas classes de aplicações, esta imprevisibilidadenão é adequada, podendo levar a falhas de software. Desta forma, éproposta uma abordagem baseada em leis de interação para construir sistemasmulti-agentes abertos, onde um controle sobre o comportamento dos agentes éesperado. Propõe-se um modelo conceitual para a especificação da forma comoas interações são reguladas em um sistema multi-agente. Este modelo conceitualtrata conceitos como cenas, normas e restrições de forma integrada. Alémdisso, a interação entre os agentes deve ser monitorada e as leis que foram especificadasdevem ser aplicadas. Para isto, propõe-se uma linguagem declarativapara a especificação da interação de acordo com os elementos do modelo conceituale uma infra-estrutura de software que age como mediador das interaçõesgarantindo que elas estejam de acordo com as especificações.

This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multiagent systems consist of multiple autonomous entities having different information and/or diverging interests. The study of multiagent systems (MAS) focuses on systems in which many intelligent agents interact with each other. The agents are considered to be autonomous entities, such as software programs or robots. Their interactions can be either cooperative or selfish. That is, the agents can share a common goal (e.g. an ant colony), or they can pursue their own interests. Multi-agent systems can be used to solve problems that are difficult or impossible for an individual agent or a monolithic system to solve. Intelligence may include some methodic, functional, procedural approach, algorithmic search or reinforcement learning. Although there is considerable overlap, a multi-agent system is not always the same as an agent-based model (ABM). The goal of an ABM is to search for explanatory insight into the collective behavior of obeying simple rules, typically in natural systems, rather than in solving specific practical or engineering problems. Topics where multi-agent systems research may deliver an appropriate approach include online trading, disaster response, and modelling social structures. Multi-agent systems consist of agents and their environment. Typically multi-agent systems research refers to software agents. However, the agents in a multi-agent system could equally well be robots, humans or human teams. A multi-agent system may contain combined humanagent teams. Agent systems are open and extensible systems that allow for the deployment of autonomous and proactive software components. Multi-agent systems have been brought up and used in several application domains. This book, Multi-Agent Systems - Modeling, Control, Programming, Simulations and Applications, is intended to provide an emphasise on the multi-agent technology, products and industrial applications.
Download or read book Interactions in Multiagent Systems Fairness Social Optimality and Individual Rationality written by Jianye Hao and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-13 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book mainly aims at solving the problems in both cooperative and competitive multi-agent systems (MASs), exploring aspects such as how agents can effectively learn to achieve the shared optimal solution based on their local information and how they can learn to increase their individual utility by exploiting the weakness of their opponents. The book describes fundamental and advanced techniques of how multi-agent systems can be engineered towards the goal of ensuring fairness, social optimality, and individual rationality; a wide range of further relevant topics are also covered both theoretically and experimentally. The book will be beneficial to researchers in the fields of multi-agent systems, game theory and artificial intelligence in general, as well as practitioners developing practical multi-agent systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Com o aumento da complexidade dos SMAs governados por leis, tornousemais difícil projetar e implementar requisitos referentes à tolerância a falhas, principalmente por não existir nenhum ponto de controle sobre tais sistemas. E, apesar disto, não são conhecidas soluções que abordem tais questões naliteratura de governança de SMAs baseados em leis. Contudo, existe umatécnica de tolerância a falhas, chamada Replicação de Agentes, que propõereutilizar os conceitos de recuperação em sistemas distribuídos através datolerância a falhas para a recuperação de agentes baseando-se em informaçõesque identifiquem suas criticalidades. Entretanto, apesar de existirem algumasestratégias de estimativa de criticalidade de agentes, nenhuma apresenta o graude granularidade suficiente para o monitoramento de SMAs abertosgovernados por leis. Desta forma, o trabalho aqui proposto tem como objetivoapresentar um mecanismo de configuração de variação de criticalidade deagentes que interagem em SMAs abertos. Para isto é proposta uma arquiteturapara desenvolvimento de SMAs abertos governados por leis tolerantes a falhase uma abordagem para projetar tais mecanismos com simplicidade, modularidade e reuso. Este trabalho apresenta três contribuições principais: aextensão no modelo conceitual da linguagem declarativa de especificação de leiXMLaw com elementos para monitoramento da criticalidade dos agentes; aintegração dos frameworks de governança de SMAs abertos (M-Law) e deadaptação dinâmica de replicação de agentes (DIMAX); e a proposição de umaforma de documentação e derivação das leis. Por fim são apresentadas planilhasde resultados da aplicação do mecanismo proposto em dois estudos de caso.

Download or read book Self organising Multi agent Systems Algorithmic Foundations Of Cyber anarcho socialism written by Jeremy Pitt and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paradigm of self-organisation is fundamental to theories of collective action in economic science and democratic governance in political science. Self-organisation in these social systems critically depends on voluntary compliance with conventional rules: that is, rules which are made up, mutually agreed, and modifiable 'on the fly'. How, then, can we use the self-organisation observed in such social systems as an inspiration for decentralised computer systems, which can face similar problems of coordination, cooperation and collaboration between autonomous peers?Self-Organising Multi-Agent Systems presents an innovative and systematic approach to transforming theories of economics and politics (and elements of philosophy, psychology, and jurisprudence) into an executable logical specification of conventional rules. It shows how sets of such rules, called institutions, provide an algorithmic basis for designing and implementing cyber-physical systems, enabling intelligent software processes (called agents) to manage themselves in the face of competition for scarce resources. It also provides a basis for implementing socio-technical systems with interacting human and computational intelligences in a way that is sustainable, fair and legitimate.This interdisciplinary book is essential reading for anyone interested in the 'planned emergence' of global properties, commonly-shared values or successful collective action, especially as a product of social construction, knowledge management and political arrangements. For those studying both computer science and social sciences, this book offers a radically new gateway to a transformative understanding of complex system development and social system modelling.Understanding how a computational representation of qualitative values like justice and democracy can lead to stability and legitimacy of socio-technical systems is among the most pressing software engineering challenges of modern times. This book can be read as an invitation to make the Digital Society better.Related Link(s)

Download or read book Multi Agent Programming written by Rafael H. Bordini and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-06-13 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multi-Agent Systems are a promising technology to develop the next generation open distributed complex software systems. The main focus of the research community has been on the development of concepts (concerning both mental and social attitudes), architectures, techniques, and general approaches to the analysis and specification of multi-agent systems. This contribution has been fragmented, without any clear way of “putting it all together”, rendering it inaccessible to students and young researchers, non-experts, and practitioners. Successful multi-agent systems development is guaranteed only if we can bridge the gap from analysis and design to effective implementation. Multi-Agent Programming: Languages, Tools and Applications presents a number of mature and influential multi-agent programming languages, platforms, development tools and methodologies, and realistic applications, summarizing the state of the art in an accessible manner for professionals and computer science students at all levels.
