This is the second year in which a team from University College Dublin has participated in the Multi Agent Contest. This paper describes the system that was created to participate in the contest, along with observations ...
The approach described advocates the use of a multi-agent system, and specifically the use of multi-agent distributed constraint optimisation algorithms. Developing software for low powered sensing devices introduces several ...
This paper describes an entry to the Multi-Agent Programming Contest 2008. The approach employs the pre-existing Agent Factory framework and extends this framework in line with experience gained from its use within the ...

Ongoing developments in an array of mobile computing technologies have rendered the deployment of intelligent agents feasible on lightweight computational devices such as mobile phones. This development extends the Multi-Agent ...
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is advocated as technological solutions that will enable the elderly population maintain their independence for a longer time than would otherwise be the case. Though the facts motivating the ...
Conventional Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) usually adopt a centralised approach to data processing and interpretation primarily due to the limited computation and energy resources available on sensor nodes. These constraints ...
This paper describes the use of the SoSAA software framework to implement the hybrid management of communication channels (backchannels) across a distributed software system. SoSAA is a new integrated
architectural solution ...
Agent-Oriented Programming (AOP) is a relatively new programming paradigm introduced by Yoav Shoham (1993) in which software systems are viewed as consisting of a set of agents that interact with one another to solve ...
Agent Factory is a cohesive framework for the development and
deployment of multi-agent systems. Since its inception in the mid 1990s,
Agent Factory has gone through a metamorphosis process, whereby several
new extensions, ...
