Focus 1:
 Models and architectures for
• multi-agents
with artificial intelligent behaviour
• single agents
 Coordination mechanisms, automated negotiation, agent
learning
 Affective agents
 Apply agent technology in different areas:
 e-commerce, e-learning, SCM, and AmI
 Self-organization of complex systems and how agents
can contribute to the development of such systems.

Systems Laboratory
Focus 2:
 Connection
• web services
• semantic representation
• agents on the Web
 Development of agents that offer semantic web
services to support different aspects of business
processing and enterprise interoperability

AI-MAS Projects
 AGATE: Self-organizing self-aware cognitive agent
societies for modelling and simulation of complex
systems. 2009-2011 – financed by CNCSIS
 Self-organization of software agents
 Self-aware software agents
 Modify the behaviour and relationships in response to
the interactions with other agents and with a dynamic
environment.
 Complex software systems, including systems
comprising different artefacts (such as mobile devices,
active RFIDs) and actors (such as artificial agents and
human users).

AI-MAS Projects
 SCIPA: Collaboration and Interoperability
Semantic Software Services for Adaptive
Business Processes. 2009-2011
 Interoperability of software services at semantic
level
 Adaptability of the business processes
 Composition of new services in a dynamic
business environment.
 Business processes that include semantic
annotation of components.

AI-MAS Projects
 A-ROADS: A multi-agent system for next-generation
urban traffic control environments. 2007-2008
 A multi-agent system for governing interactions of
autonomous vehicles in intersections by exploiting the
increasing amounts of available sensor data.
 A vehicle is represented by an autonomous entity
associated to the sensor instrument - vehicle agent
 Junctions are represented by intersection agents.
 Vehicle agents communicate with intersection agents in
their proximity

AI-MAS Projects
 MIRA - My IRrational Agent, 2005-2007
 A model and an implementation of
emotional agents
 Extending the classical BDI model to cope
with emotions
 Agent’s mechanisms of belief change,
decision-making and planning based on
emotional intelligence.
 Application: e-learning

AI-MAS Projects
 ADEPT: A Multi-agent system based on
autonomous agents with adjustable autonomy.
2005-2007
 Intelligent agents, which adapt their behavior,
autonomy, task distribution and resource
allocation according to the problem to be solved
and to the given environment.
 Agents have adjustable autonomy depending
on the task and context
 It also comprises agents that are hosted by
small devices, such as smart phones.

Self-organising systems
• large number of individuals
• based on interaction
• emergent organisation of higher level
Ambient Intelligence (AmI)
• large number of devices
• limited capability of devices
• information exchanged by interaction
• centralized organisation is very difficult

Towards an affective e-learning
companion
 Extend MIRA
• Enhancement with virtual agents
(persona)
• Application: e-learning for differently
enabled people
