Abstract. We present a model of a recurrent neural network with homeostasic units, embodied in a minimalist articulated agent with a single link and joint. The configuration of th...
Agent orientation is currently pursued primarily as a software paradigm. Software with characteristics such as autonomy, sociality, reactivity and proactivity, and communicative an...
Co-ordination is the glue that binds the activities of autonomous problem-solving agents together into a functional whole. Co-ordination mechanisms for distributed problem-solving ...
When an agent receives a query from another agent, it tries to satisfy it by building an answer based on its current knowledge. Depending on the available time or the urgency of t...
This paper describes simulations designed to test the relative efficiency of two different sequential auction mechanisms for allocating compute resources between users in a shared...
