Research ArticleOpen accessPhrase 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
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAn Ontology Driven, Procedural Reasoning System-Like Agent Model, For Multi-Agent Based Mobile Workforce Brokering SystemsArash Mousavi, Md. Jan Nordin, Zulaiha Ali OthmanProblem statement: It has been proven that Believe, Desire, Intention (BDI) agent architecture, performs suitably in dynamic and unpredictable environments. Although BDI architecture has been formulated rigorously, implementing BDI architecture is not as straightforward as it has been promised. Nevertheless, the preeminent implementation of BDI architecture is Procedural Reasoning System (PRS) and Jadex is a Java-based platform that successfully applies … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 5 · 31 May 2010 · 7,664 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA 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
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 keywordsStructured 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 accessIn the keywordsProviding Fairness to Mobile Workforces in an Automated Task Allocation Process: A Semantic Multi-agent ApproachArash Mousavi, Riza Sulaiman, Md. Jan Nordin et al.Problem statement: Mobile Workforces (MW) unlike computational resources of an automated system are active but not passive entities. Therefore, an automated resource allocation system that deals with MWs should assign tasks to them fairly and in a comparatively equal manner. An unfair task allocation in a group will cause dissatisfaction, which in turn demotivates MWs who are supposed to work … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 7 · 16 May 2012 · 7,003 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractStructural Barriers to the Deployment of AI Foundation ModelsHristo Hristov, Elena Somova, Emil FuchedzhievArtificial Intelligence (AI) foundation models excel at benchmarks but are not always cost-effective or successfully deployed in enterprise systems. This paper analyzes the failures in their deployment through interconnected structural components characterized by: Economic constraints (computational costs, memory, and latency that scale with increasing use of AI model services), cognitive constraints (related to training objectives that optimize plausibility rather than … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 10 · 5 Oct 2026 · 808 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMulti-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 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
