This paper describes Icarus, an agent architecture that embeds a hierarchical reinforcement learning algorithm within a language for specifying agent behavior. An Icarus program e...
Smart avatars are virtual human representations controlled by real people. Given instructions interactively, smart avatars can act as autonomous or reactive agents. During a real-...

We use combinatorial methods and permutation groups to classify homogeneous boolean functions. The property of symmetry of a boolean function limits the size of the function’s cl...
As heterogeneous distributed systems, multi-agent systems present some challenging con guration management issues. There are the problems of knowing how to allocate agents to comp...
