(Discussion Paper, 2011)Second Life is a multi-purpose online virtual world that provides a rich platform for remote human interaction. It is increasingly being used as a simulation platform to model complex human interactions in diverse areas, ... -
(Discussion Paper, 2007)Norms are shared expectations of behaviours that exist in human societies. Norms help societies by increasing the predictability of individual behaviours and by improving co-operation and collaboration among members. Norms ... -
(Conference or Workshop Item (Paper), 8th European Workshop on Multi-Agent Systems, 2010)Previous work on detecting fulfilments and violations of expectations (which may correspond to conventions, norms, commitments or contracts) assumed that information about the world is available as an abstract logical model ... -
(Discussion Paper, 2011)Second Life is a multi-purpose online virtual world that is increasingly being used for applications and simulations in diversified areas such as education, training, entertainment, and even for applications related to ... -
(Discussion Paper, 2000)Workflow management systems (WFMS) are being adopted to assist the automation of business processes that involve the exchange of information. As a result of developments in distributed information system technology, it is ... -
(Discussion Paper, 2004)Contemporary software systems are exposed to demanding, dynamic, and unpredictable environments where the traditional adaptability mechanisms may not be sufficient. To imitate and fully benefit from life-like adaptability ... -
(Discussion Paper, 2000)The use of modelling abstractions to map from items in the real-world to objects in the computational domain is useful both for the effective implementation of abstract problem solutions and for the management of software ... -
(Discussion Paper, 1996)A novel connectionist architecture based on an optical thin-film multilayer model (OTFM) is described. The architecture is explored as an alternative to the widely used neuron-inspired models, with the thin-film thicknesses ... -
(Discussion Paper, 2002)The Opal architecture for software development is described that supports the use of agent-oriented concepts at multiple levels of abstraction. At the lowest level are micro-agents, streamlined agents that can be used for ... -
(Discussion Paper, 1999)This paper describes an architecture for building distributed information systems from existing information resources, based on distributed object and software agent technologies. This architecture is being developed as ...
