Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase in the titleHardware in the Loop Simulator for Multi Agent Unmanned Aerial Vehicles EnvironmentKamal S. Ali, Justin L. ShumakerThis study describes a Multi-Agent Hardware In the Loop Simulator (HILS) for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles’ (UAV) autopilots. This HILS system allows multiple autopilots to fly multiple virtual airframes in the same virtual environment allowing these agents to interact as a swarm. This system makes the exploration and evaluation of Multi Agent Systems (MAS) possible at minimal cost. …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 10 May 2013 · 7,529 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMulti-Agent Energy Allocation Optimization in Local Energy Communities: A Comparative StudyAmira Dhorbani, Dhaker Abbes, Benoît Robyns, Kahina Hassam OuariThe growing diversity of energy demands, combined with the integration of renewable and distributed energy systems, calls for more adaptive energy management strategies. This study presents a comparative simulation-based analysis of three energy management approaches applied to a local energy community: A Multi-Agent System (MAS), a centralized rule-based method, and a game-theory-based optimization using the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 30 Dec 2025 · 3,381 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMulti-Criteria Trust Establishment for Multi-Agent Systems Based on Fuzzy LogicAbdullah Aref, Eman OmarMulti-Agent Systems (MASs) are increasingly accepted for modeling virtual complex distributed systems, such as virtual societies and smart grids, due to agents’ autonomy, flexibility and pro-activity. As autonomous, goal-driven agents can mislead others intentionally or accidentally by inaccurately reporting their competencies and abilities, the use of trust modeling deemed essential for successful interactions in MASs. The concept of trust is … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 16, Issue 11 · 4 Nov 2020 · 6,828 accessesView PDFCite
