Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMulti-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 accessIn the keywordsA Petri Net Based Agent Behavioral TestingZina Houhamdi, Belkacem AthamenaIn Multi-Agent System (MAS), developers concentrate on creating design models and evolving them, from higher level models to lower level models, in several steps. Considerable part of MAS implementations is automatically produced from the design models. If a design model contains faults, they are passed to the generated implementations. Practical model validation techniques are required to discover and delete faults … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 11 · 10 Sep 2012 · 6,682 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAn Exception Management Model in Multi-Agents SystemsBelkacem Athamena, Zina HouhamdiMulti-Agents Systems (MAS) are modern approaches that need an additional investigation to improve their reliability and adaptability levels. Exception management is one way to reach this goal and this paper is dedicated to this specific subject. The purpose of this document is to examine the exception concept in MAS domain and to suggest a model adjusted to MAS challenges such … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 13, Issue 5 · 29 May 2017 · 7,445 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHardware 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 accessIn the abstractEnhancing Security in E-Health Communications using Multi-Agent SystemRossilawati Sulaiman, Dharmendra Sharma, Wanli Ma, Dat TranProblem statement: In this study, we address the security needs in online communications, specifically in the e-health domain. We focus on how to provide different security strengths to different types of communications in e-health, where each communication transmits different types of information with different levels of sensitivity. Approach: The Multi-Agent System (MAS) approach is used to develop an agent-based system … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 5 · 17 Feb 2012 · 6,981 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructured Integration Test Suite Generation Process for Multi-Agent SystemZina Houhamdi, Belkacem AthamenaProblem statement: In recent years, Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE) methodologies are proposed to develop complex distributed systems based upon the agent paradigm. The implementation for such systems has usually the form of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). Testing of MAS is a challenging task because these systems are often programmed to be autonomous and deliberative and they operate in an open world, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 7,451 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordA New Model for Multi-agent Case-base Reasoning SystemsAbdel Badeea Salem, Aldahoud Ali, Ibrahiem M. M. El EmaryMulti-Agent Systems (MASs) and Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) are two recent and hot paradigms in artificial intelligence field. CBR is a reasoning methodology based on old experience reasoning or similarity-based reasoning while MAS is a new paradigm to organize AI applications. CBR offers multi-agent systems the capability of autonomously learning from experience. This study examines the integration of CBR, MASs and … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 1, Issue 2 · 19 Oct 2005 · 5,153 accessesView PDFCite
