We describe an intelligent personal assistant that has been developed to aid a busy
knowledge worker in managing time commitments and performing tasks. The design of the …

Advances in automated driving systems (ADSs) have shifted the primary responsibility of
controlling a vehicle from human drivers to automation. Framing driving a highly automated …

Personal assistant agents capable of proactively offering assistance can be more helpful to
their users through their ability to perform tasks that otherwise would require user …

Autonomous systems, often realized as multi-agent systems, are envisioned to deal with
uncertain and dynamic environments. They are applied in dangerous situations, eg as …

In BDI programs it is quite common to find context conditions of plans which are over-
constrained in order to ensure that the most preferred plan is selected for use. This is …

We present a BDI-based framework for a cognitive agent that acts as an assistant to a
human user by performing tasks on her behalf. This framework accommodates:(1) user …

The increased scope and complexity of tasks that people perform as part of their routine
work has led to growing interest in the development of intelligent personal assistive agents …

Many calendar tools have become available to organize, display, and track a user's
commitments. However, most people still spend a considerable amount of time personally …

Unmanned systems must provide robust operations despite dynamic levels of human
workload, trust, and mission requirements. One of the promising approaches to this problem …
