It is generally accepted that the environment is an essential compound of multiagent
systems (MASs). Yet the environment is typically assigned limited responsibilities, or even …

The evolution of organizational processes and performance over the past decade has been
largely enabled by cutting-edge technologies such as data analytics, artificial intelligence …

Irrigation is very important for ensuring food security and reducing crop production
vulnerability caused by the lack of rain. Sustainable irrigation is the rational practice of all the …

Role-based learning holds the promise of achieving scalable multi-agent learning by
decomposing complex tasks using roles. However, it is largely unclear how to efficiently …

The role concept provides a useful tool to design and understand complex multi-agent
systems, which allows agents with a similar role to share similar behaviors. However …

This paper focuses on the challenges of modeling cyber–physical systems (CPSs) that arise
from the intrinsic heterogeneity, concurrency, and sensitivity to timing of such systems. It …

Agent technology currently plays an important role in complex software development. The
underlying paradigm offers a large repertoire of original concepts, architectures, interaction …

Modelling and simulation have long been dominated by equation-based approaches, until
the recent advent of agent-based approaches. To curb the resulting complexity of models …

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

The ability of production companies to rapidly develop and deploy effective and efficient
control systems is critical for success in the consumer-driven environment of contemporary …
