Multi-agent systems allow the simulation of complex phenomena that cannot easily be
described analytically. Multi-agent approaches are often based on coordinating agents …

This paper describes a multi-agent coordination mechanism applied to intersection
simulation situations. In a goal of urban traffic simulation, we must consider the dynamic …

Anticipation is a general concept used and applied in various domains. Many studies in the
field of artificial intelligence have investigated the capacity for anticipation. In this article, we …

Traffic phenomena come on the one hand from supply/demand mechanisms and on the
other hand from the interactions between the various actors involved. Simulation models …

Electronic institutions (EIs) have been proposed as a means of regulating open agent
societies. EIs define the rules of the game in agent societies by fixing what agents are …

Recent developments in image analysis have made it possible to obtain kinetic data
regarding how real organisms move, revealing dynamic internal structures within groups …

Electronic institutions (EIs) have been proposed as a means of regulating open agent
societies. EIs define the rules of the game in agent societies by fixing what agents are …

We solve problems and make decisions all day long: at home, at work, while playing. Some
problems and decisions are very challenging: What is the best sequence of actions to reach …

The work reported in this thesis was supervised by Professor Dr. Henk J. van Zuylen as
promoter and ir. Theo HJ Muller as daily supervisor at the Transport and Planning …

Most of the works related to norms and multi-agent systems focus on the design of normative
agents systems making the assumption that agents always respect norms. Our aims in this …
