In this work we present a methodological framework to engineer graded BDI agent-based systems. The graded BDI agent model allows to specify an agent’s architecture able to deal with the environment uncertainty and with...

A multiagent system (MAS) is made up of multiple interacting autonomous agents. It can be viewed as a society in which each agent performs its activity, cooperating to achieve common goals, or competing for them. Thus, e...

Interaction is an essential characteristic of Multi- Agent Systems (MASs). Agents that are part of a MAS usually interact by exchanging messages accord- ing to some conversation policy. Therefore, the ability to find oth...

In this paper we sketch an agent architecture suitable to be used as a tool for exploring agent perception and multiagent interaction. Nowadays, there is no strict correspondence between the theoretical work in rational ...

The design of intelligent agents is a key issue for many applications. Although there is no universally accepted de nition of intelligence, a notion of rational agency has been proposed as an alternative for the characte...

El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar una línea de investigación en el área de agentes inteligentes. Esta investigación se basa en el estudio de la arquitectura BDI (belief-desire- intention) y en particular del l...

The building of an intelligent agent has become the main concern of Artificial intelligence (Al). Unfortunately, this enterprise proved to be unattainable, in particular given the complexity involved with the formal def...

A multi-agent system is made up of multiple interacting autonomous agents. It can be viewed as a society in which each agent performs its activity cooperating to achieve common goals, or competing for them. They establis...

The advent of the World Wide Web and its constant growing have transformed the search for information into a time-consuming task. Intelligent information agents have emerged as a solution to this problem. These agents le...

Negotiation is a fundamental activity in a multi-agent system. The members of the system negotiate in order to coordinate their activities and to distribute resources and tasks trying to reach a state acceptable to all. ...

The development of isolated agents involves the manipulation of components such as actions, mental attitudes and decisions. Multi-agent systems have to deal with these components from different agents, without to forget ...

The design of intelligent agents is greatly influenced by the many different models that exist to represent knowledge. It is essential that such agents have computationally adequate mechanisms to manage its knowledge, wh...

The main objective of this work is to establish a basis for comparing BDI agents with the optimality of decision theory models such as POMDPs. It is argued that a direct comparison is not possible due to the intractabili...

Making rational decisions is one of the key elements in the design of autonomous agents with successful behavior. Even though there have been many proposals for the support of decision making, most of them can be describ...

The problem of information retrieval has attracted increasing attention in recent years. The amount of information sources via networks has grown and is still rapidly growing. Although existing search engines provide rap...

Coordination of altruistic agents to solve optimization problems can be significantly enhanced when inter-agent communication is allowed. In this paper we present an evolutionary approach to learn optimal communication s...

Agents of sedition who are heedlessly destroying Spain's "consolidated democracy"? Xenophobes simply interested in protecting their own wealth who are, behind the rhetoric, not that different from the tribal authoritaria...

Crist i la història. Els inicis de la historiografia eclesiàstica catalana en el seu context europeu té diversos objectius: intenta explicar les aportacions de la historiografia eclesiàstica a la historiografia en ge...

Diagnostic procedures are emblematic of medical work. Scholars in the field of social studies of medicine identify diverse dimensions of diagnosis that point to controversies, processual qualities and contested evidence....

L’any 2009, la Diputació de Girona va encarregar a la càtedra UNESCO de la Universitat de Girona la realització d’un estudi sobre el sector cultural als municipis de la província. El treball va aportar una radiog...
