This paper describes a part of current research work on an automated cell tracking (ACT)
project with the aim of tracking the movement of representative cells in order to determine …

Existing approaches using argumentation to aid or improve machine learning differ in the
type of machine learning technique they consider, in their use of argumentation and in their …

We develop a novel strategy that supports software agents to make decisions on how to
negotiate for a resource in open and dynamic e-markets. Although existing negotiation …

We study the development of distributed agent environments as distributed event-based
systems specified in the Ambient Event Calculus (AEC). The AEC is a logic-based formalism …

Several recent works in the area of Artificial Intelligence focus on computational models of
argumentation-based negotiation. However, even if computational models of arguments are …

We propose a formal framework that supports a model of agent-based Virtual Organisations
(VOs) for service grids and provides an associated operational model for the creation of …

Computational models of argumentation has been put forward as a promising approach to
support decision making. In this context several recent works have proposed argumentation …

Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) is poised for a wider adoption by its relevant
stakeholders, especially Cloud application developers. Despite this, the service model is still …

This paper explores the relationship between I/O scheduling in a virtual machine monitor
(VMM) and performance of Map Reduce applications running on the virtual machines (VMs) …

Recon is an experimental simulation platform that supports the development of software
agents interacting concurrently with other agents in negotiation domains. Unlike existing …
