Precisely when the success of artificial intelligence (AI) sub-symbolic techniques makes
them be identified with the whole AI by many non-computer-scientists and non-technical …

Recently, the civilian applications of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are gaining more
interest in several domains. Due to operational costs, safety concerns, and legal regulations …

This paper brings together agent oriented programming, organisation oriented programming
and environment oriented programming, all of which are programming paradigms that …

In recent years, digital twins have been pervading different application domains—from
manufacturing to healthcare—as an approach for virtualising different kinds of physical …

The term computer simulation is related to the usage of a computational model in order to
improve the understanding of a system's behavior and/or to evaluate strategies for its …

A new approach for conceptualizing and modeling multi-agent systems that consist of
people, devices, and software agents. Today, when computing is pervasive and deployed …

In the future Internet of Things (IoT), smart objects will be the fundamental building blocks for
the creation of cyber-physical smart pervasive systems in a great variety of application …

In this article we focus on the notion of artifact for agents in multi-agent systems (MAS) as a
basis for a new meta-model promoting the modelling and engineering of agent societies and …

Advanced vehicle guidance systems use real-time traffic information to route traffic and to
avoid congestion. Unfortunately, these systems can only react upon the presence of traffic …

This article introduces the notion of environment programming in software multi-agent
systems (MAS) and describes a concrete computational and programming model based on …
