Multi-agent techniques have become mature technologies with many tools, programming
languages, and methodologies currently available. As a result, it is a practical approach for …

Abstract Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) are popular because they provide a paradigm that
naturally meets the current demand to design and implement distributed intelligent systems …

Abstract Model-driven engineering provides abstractions and notations to improve the
understanding and to support modeling, coding, and verification of applications for specific …

Several advantages can be obtained by allowing multi-agent systems to easily access
ontologies, for example, in scenarios where agents make their decisions based on …

One of the most important aspects of multi-agent systems is communication. Among the
communication techniques in multi-agent systems, argumentation-based approaches have …

This paper presents an ontology-based application for mobile devices which is responsible
for supporting groups of people with the management of their shared tasks. The ontology …

Some areas of application, for example, healthcare, are known to resist the replacement of
human operators by fully autonomous systems. It is typically not transparent to users how …

Ontologies play a crucial role in multiagent systems (MASs) development, especially for
domain knowledge modeling, interaction specifications, and behavioral aspect …

This paper proposes an ontology for task representation and inference. The ontology was
developed to support reasoning about tasks, such as task recognition and relocation. Our …

The Semantic Web proposes a structure of significant content for Web pages that is used in
knowledge bases and developed from ontologies, that have recently come to coexist on the …
