Currently, agent-based computing is an active research area, and great efforts have been made towards the agent-oriented programming both from a theoretical and practical view. However, most of them assume that there ...
Agent architectures are gaining popularity for building open, distributed, and evolving software required by e-commerce applications. Unfortunately, despite considerable work in software architecture during the last...
Agent concepts have been used in a number of recent approaches of requirement engineering (RE),such as KAOS (Knowledge acquisition in automated specification), i* and GBRAM (Goal-based requirements analysis method). A...
The dynamic variations in demand patterns and produ ct mix, driven by unpredictable changes in a global market, are placing manufactur ing systems under significant pressure. In order to remain competitive, manu factu...
Petri net is a kind of effective graphic modeling tool. The agent technology is combined with petri net in order to enhance flexibility and extendibility, and the agent-oriented single token and colored transition pet...
Virtual environment has been widely applied in scientific research and considered as an important tool of exploring science. But constructing a real virtual environment is rather difficult. The difficulty cannot be co...
