Agent-oriented abstraction.

Jacques Calmet, Pierre Maret, Regine Endsuleit (2004)

RACSAM

Similarity:

We define an agent-oriented abstraction formalism devoted to generalized theories of abstraction that have been proposed in Artificial Intelligence. The model we propose extends the abstraction capabilities of the existing Agent-Oriented Programming paradigm. This short note reviews first the existing attempts to define abstraction in AI and in agent systems. Then, our model is introduced in terms of six definitions covering the concepts of agents, annotated knowledge, utility and society...

From ignorance to uncertainty: a conceptual analysis

Pietro Baroni, Giovanni Guida, Silvano Mussi (1998)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

This paper aims to develop an analysis of how ignorance affects the reasoning activity and is related to the concept of uncertainty. With reference to a simple inferential reasoning step, involving a single piece of relational knowledge, we identify four types of ignorance and show how they give rise to different types of uncertainty. We then introduce the concept of reasoning attitude, as a basic choice about how reasoning should be carried out in presence of ignorance. We identify...

FSP and FLTL framework for specification and verification of middle-agents

Amelia Bădică, Costin Bădică (2011)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Agents are a useful abstraction frequently employed as a basic building block in modeling service, information and resource sharing in global environments. The connecting of requester with provider agents requires the use of specialized agents known as middle-agents. In this paper, we propose a formal framework intended to precisely characterize types of middle-agents with a special focus on matchmakers, brokers and front-agents by formally modeling their interactions with requesters...

A belief revision approach for argumentation-based negotiation agents

Pablo Pilotti, Ana Casali, Carlos Chesñevar (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Negotiation is an interaction that happens in multi-agent systems when agents have conflicting objectives and must look for an acceptable agreement. A typical negotiating situation involves two agents that cannot reach their goals by themselves because they do not have some resources they need or they do not know how to use them to reach their goals. Therefore, they must start a negotiation dialogue, taking also into account that they might have incomplete or wrong beliefs about the...
