This paper presents the design of an autonomous surface vehicle (ASV) used for marine
environment monitoring or hydrologic survey. A catamaran is used to improve stability …

This paper introduces a method for building a readable image of an opaque, rolled or folded
text from a volumetric, penetrating scan. The problem is framed by localizing, constructing …

One of the most important aspects of the research on agent interaction is the definition of
agent communication languages (ACLs), and the specification of a proper formal semantics …

There are two main traditions in defining a semantics for agent communication languages,
based either on mental attitudes or on social commitments. These traditions share speech …

In this paper, we introduce an agent communication protocol and speech acts for norm
negotiation. The protocol creates individual or contractual obligations to fulfill goals of the …

The aim of this paper is to propose a modal framework for reasoning about signed
information. This modal framework allows agents to keep track of information source as long …

Inferences about speech acts are often conditional, nonmonotonic, and involve the issue of
time. Most agent communication languages, however, ignore these issues, due to the …

This paper presents a framework for web service composition based on social norms,
particularly obligations. Web services are implemented and orchestrated by agents. Agent …

A key focus of contemporary agent-oriented research and engineering is on open multiagent
systems composed of truly autonomous, interacting agents. This poses new challenges, as …
