Multiagent system technologies

Más información sobre el libro

The content includes a series of invited talks and discussions focused on multi-agent systems and their applications. Key topics cover tournament solutions, simulation-aided design challenges, and model-driven development for platform-neutral agents. It addresses formal specification methods for real-time multi-agent systems and explores user-evaluated explainable BDI agents, emphasizing trust, norms, and reputation in these systems. The role of feedback in multi-agent reputation systems and normative deliberation in graded BDI agents is examined, alongside strategies for inducing desirable behavior through incentive infrastructures. The text also discusses various models, tools, and architectures, including SONAR/OREDI, which facilitates the creation and deployment of organizational models. It highlights the importance of enhancing interoperability between multi-agent systems and service-oriented architectures through a model-driven approach and unifying agent and component concepts. Applications are explored in two sections, with the first focusing on the impact of competition on service quality in demand-responsive transit, distributed agent environments for pervasive healthcare, and context-aware route planning. The second section addresses price prediction in sports betting markets and modeling distributed network security using Petri net- and agent-based approaches. Additionally, it covers social conformity in reinforc
