ABSTRACT
In this work we deal with action selection issues for software agent operating in ambient environment which is highly dynamic. Unpredictable events may occur and inappropriate actions may damage the software and its environment. Adaptation ability is a key requirement for such issues. We use multi-agent paradigm to address them. We propose a regulation function within agent architecture. It is a filter which acts on the stream of behaviour before it becomes or not action. The aim is to cope with environmental changes without the need to predict them precisely at design-time. To this end, we introduce the Influence-Reaction Model into the agent behaviour management. To facilitate its application, we implement the resulting architecture as a Java library called MECA. We experiment it with an agricultural robot moving through a field.

Design of an Agent Cluster as Integrative Environment of Personal Agents
ICIIS '99: Proceedings of the 1999 International Conference on Information Intelligence and SystemsSince searching, sorting and filtering of information nowadays becomes more and more important, the demand for supportive autonomous, mobile and intelligent software agents is steadily increasing. For fast and efficient implementation of agents there ...
An Extended Agent Model Based on E-institutions
WISM '10: Proceedings of the 2010 International Conference on Web Information Systems and Mining - Volume 01Recent study of the agent model is not complete, for the model is often constructed out of the institutional environment. As a result, agents have no E-institution knowledge and cooperate blindly. The aim of this paper is to construct an agent model in ...
Robust Regulation Adaptation in Multi-Agent Systems
Adaptive organisation-centred multi-agent systems can dynamically modify their organisational components to better accomplish their goals. Our research line proposes an abstract distributed architecture (2-LAMA) to endow an organisation with adaptation ...
