Distributed software agents and applications 6th European workshop on modelling autonomous agents in a multi-agent world, MAAMAW '94, Odense, Denmark, August 3-5, 1994 : proceedings

"This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 6th European Workshop on Modelling Autonomous Agents in a Multi-Agent World, MAAMAW '94, held in Odense, Denmark, in August 1994. The 15 revised full papers included in the book were carefully selected from the workshop contributions; they address various current aspects of multi-agent systems, with a certain focus on applicational aspects. In addition, there is an invited paper "Agents: towards a society in which humans and computers cohabitate" by Mario Tokoro."--PUBLISHER'S WEBSITE Agents: Towards a society in which humans and computers cohabitate....Pages 1-10 ARCHON and its environment....Pages 11-18 What ants cannot do....Pages 19-39 Towards a theory of cooperative problem solving....Pages 40-53 A tool for handling uncertain information in multi-agent systems....Pages 54-62 DA-SoC: A testbed for modelling distribution automation applications using agent-oriented programming....Pages 63-76 APPEAL: A multi-agent approach to interactive learning environments....Pages 77-89 Language constructs for coordination in an agent space....Pages 90-105 A distributed approach to partial constraint satisfaction problems....Pages 106-122 A collaboration strategy for repetitive encounters....Pages 123-134 ASIC: An architechture for social and individual control and its application to computer vision....Pages 135-149 Hierarchical model and communication by signs, signals, and symbols in multi-agent environments....Pages 150-165 Plan recognition: From single-agent to multi-agent plans....Pages 166-178 Distributed negotiation-based task planning for a flexible manufacturing environment....Pages 179-190 A multi-agent approach to dynamic, adaptive scheduling of material flow....Pages 191-205 Motion planning for an articulated robot: A multi-agent approach....Pages 206-219
