Software engineers continually strive to develop tools and techniques to manage the
complexity that is inherent in software systems. In this article, we argue that intelligent agents …

A systematic review is provided on artificial agent methodologies applicable to control
engineering of autonomous vehicles and robots. The paper focuses on some fundamentals …

The study of multi-agent systems (MAS) focuses on systems in which many intelligent agents
interact with each other. These agents are considered to be autonomous entities such as …

The concept of an agent has become important in both artificial intelligence (AT) and
mainstream computer science. Our aim in this paper is to point the reader at what we …

Computers are not very good at knowing what to do: every action a computer performs must
be explicitly anticipated, planned for, and coded by a programmer. If a computer program …

The concept of an agent has become important in both Artificial Intelligence (AI) and
mainstream computer science. In this article, we present a survey of what we perceive to be …

Handbook of Knowledge Representation describes the essential foundations of Knowledge
Representation, which lies at the core of Artificial Intelligence (AI). The book provides an up …

The technology of intelligent agents and multi-agent systems is expected to alter radically
the way in which complex, distributed, open systems are conceptualised and implemented …

As an alternative to planning, an approach to high-level agent control based on concurrent
program execution is considered. A formal definition in the situation calculus of such a …

This article presents a BDI-based agent-oriented programming language, called 2APL (A
Practical Agent Programming Language). This programming language facilitates the …
