Machine Learning in Multi-Agent Systems using Associative Arrays
PublicationIn this paper, a new machine learning algorithm for multi-agent systems is introduced. The algorithm is based on associative arrays, thus it becomes less complex and more efficient substitute of artificial neural networks and Bayesian networks, which is confirmed by performance measurements. Implementation of machine learning algorithm in multi-agent system for aided design of selected control systems allowed to improve the performance...

History-based dynamic weight voting for multi-agent systems
PublicationTaking decision in multi-agent systems may involve voting. Two basic voting protocols are surveyed in the paper. Then, a new history-based dynamic weight voting is proposed. This voting protocol allows for identification of the agents which contribute to the correct system decision. The proposed solution is contrasted with majority voting and with weighted average voting, to show its advantages

Multi-agent systems registration and maintenance of address mapping without agent self-registation
PublicationMonitoring of dynamic multi-agent systems, here agents are allowed to appear and disappear, and can migrate between network nodes is a complex tasks. Applying the traditional monitoring methods is not effective, as little can be assumed in advance about such environments. It is necessary to track changes in addressing and availability of agents to create and maintain mapping between agents and their network addresses. The...

Adapting a General Tool to Monitoring Multi-Agent Systems Through Virtual Host Layer Extenstion
PublicationNagios is a free software for IT infrastructure monitoring. Out-of-the-box it is not suited for monitoring multi-agent systems, because agents may dynamically join and leave the system or change roles. But Nagios' flexible configuration makes extensions possible. This paper presents and verifies Nagios configuration and extensions for monitoring multi-agent systems.

Self-Organization in Multi-Agent Systems Based on Examples of Modeling Economic Relationships between Agents
PublicationThe goal of the research was to observe and analyze self-organization patterns in Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) by modeling basic economic relationships between agents forming a closed loop of relations necessary for their survival. The paper describes a worked-out MAS including an example of a production cycle and used economic rules. A special focus is put on behavior rules and decision systems of an individual agent such as: product...

Adapting a general tool to monitoring multi-agent systems through virtual host layer extenstion = Rozszerzenie typowego narzędzia o warstwę hosta wirtualnego w celu monitorowania systemów agentowych
PublicationNagios to bezpłatne oprogramowanie do monitorowania infrastruktury IT. Nie jest ono dostosowane do monitorowania systemów agentowych, gdyż agenty mogą swobodnie podejmować lub zarzucać realizację działań, czy zmieniać pełnioną rolę. Bogate możliwości konfigurowania Nagios pozwalają poszerzyć jego możliwości. Artykuł przedstawia i weryfikuje konfigurację oraz rozszerzenie Nagios, umożliwiające monitorowanie systemów agentowych.

Multi agent grid systems
PublicationThis chapter presents an idea of merging grid and volunteer systemswith multi agent systems. It gives some basics concerning multi agentsystem and the most followed standard. Some deliberations concerningsuch an existing systems were made in order to finally present possibilities of introducing agents into the Comcute system.

An application of multi-agent system for ship’s power systems design
PublicationDesign process of transport ship power system consists of structure (topology) and component elements selection. Compliance with the requirements for static components does not guarantee optimal dynamic characteristics of entire power system. Design steps are difficult to formalize and as a consequence to this reason expert and multi-agent systems are used for solving selected design issues. In the paper distributed multi-agent...

Ontology management in the multi-agent system for the it evaluation
PublicationThe team of researchers at the Gdańsk University of Technology is currently developing a model of the multi-agent system (MAS_IT) that would aid the IT managers to find the most appropriate technology to the goals assumed. The knowledge is to be provided by experts and stored in the facts and rules bases. The responsibility of the verification process-on the input and query stages-is given to the ontology, making it to some extend...

Multi-agent graph searching and exploration algorithms
PublicationA team of mobile entities, which we refer to as agents or searchers interchangeably, starting from homebases needs to complete a given task in a graph.The goal is to build a strategy, which allows agents to accomplish their task. We analyze strategies for their effectiveness (e.g., the number of used agents, the total number of performed moves by the agents or the completion time).Currently, the fields of on-line (i.e., agents...

Security and Anonymity in Agent Systems
PublicationMany agent systems have been developed and suggested for commercial application. However, in spite of the significant potential offered by the agent paradigm, the lack of such important properties as security, anonymity and untracebility especially in open dynamical environment, such as the Internet, has blocked the active implementation of agent technologies. Protecting agent systems poses a more demanding challenge comparing...

A multi-agent method for periodicity detection in distributed events
PublicationMulti-agent systems working in constantly changing environments may be challenged by instantaneous unavailability of their autonomous agents caused e.g. by limited computing resources. A new method of self-organization of distributed service components is proposed, suitable for multi-agent systems. This method relies on particular agents carrying out separate analyzes of their individual processing loads or other specific events....

Multi-agent large-scale parallel crowd simulation
PublicationThis paper presents design, implementation and performance results of a new modular, parallel, agent-based and large scale crowd simulation environment. A parallel application, implemented with C and MPI, was implemented and run in this parallel environment for simulation and visualization of an evacuation scenario at Gdansk University of Technology, Poland and further in the area of districts of Gdansk. The application uses a...

Anonymity Architecture for Mobile Agent Systems
PublicationThe paper presents a new security architecture for MAS, which supports anonymity of agent owners. The architecture is composed of two main elements: Module I: Untraceability Protocol Infrastructure and Module II: Additional Untraceability Support. Module I is based on the recently proposed untraceability protocol for MAS and it forms the core of the anonymity architecture, which can be supported by the ele- ments of the second...

Architecture supporting security of agent systems
PublicationW rozprawie zaproponowano nową architekturę bezpieczeństwa wspomagającą anonimowość w systemach agentowych. Moduł I architektury zapewnia funkcjonalność protokołu ochrony przed tropieniem (ang. untraceability), z tą zaletą, że nie wprowadza ograniczeń wobec agentów samodzielnie ustalających trasę własnej wędrówki. Stanowi rdzeń architektury, który zaimplementowano jako rozszerzenie platformy agentowej JADE, udostępniane publicznie...

Business processes implementation using agent systems
PublicationThis paper will show that some complex and repetitive actions performed in a company can be modelled for the sake of optimization and automaton. It is achieved by connecting business processes management and agent paradigms. Moreover it shows that organization structure can be mapped to distributed multi agent system. Finally it states that interorganization communication can be automated on the same basis as intra-organization...

Multi-Agent Signal Filtering for Electrical Energy Demand Management
PublicationConsumers participating in electrical energy Demand Response (DR) programs may be exposed to energy-use related decisions at instants of time which are generally hard to predict. This is especially cumbersome to residential consumers who are less capable of investing in special equipment, or devoting significant time to analyze information and take decisions. To ease residential consumer participation, a multi-agent system proposed...
