A Business Process Agent The architecture of a process agent is a three-layer BDI, hybrid, multi-agent architecture. These process agents are intended to deal with corporate cultural, or political, sensitivities as well as with corporate rules. These agents adapt their behaviour on the basis of the likelihood of p...

Probabilistic Affine Invariants for Recognition Under a weak perspective camera model, the image plane coordinates in different views of a planar object are related by an affine transformation. Because of this property, researchers have attempted to use affine invariants for recognition. However, there are two problems...

Parameter Control Using the Agent Based Patchwork Model The setting of parameters in Evolutionary Algorithms (EA) has crucial influence on their performance. Typically, the best choice depends on the optimization task. Some parameters yield better results when they are varied during the run. Recently, the so-called Ter...

Coordinating Mobile Agents by means of Communicators This paper proposes a coordination model, for both static and mobile agents, based on abstract structures called Communicators, entities which handle agent dialogue performed through ACL speech act exchanging. Such structures are designed based on a need to model age...

Architectural Design Patterns for Multiagent Coordination This paper presents our first step towards agent-oriented software engineering, focusing on the area of coordinated multi-agent systems. In multi-agent systems, the interactions between the agents are crucial in determining the effectiveness of the system. Hence...

Seeking a Foundation for Context-Aware Computing Context-aware computing is generally associated with elements of the Ubiquitous Computing program, and the opportunity to distribute computation and interaction through the environment rather than concentrating it at the desktop computer. However, issues of context have ...

Co-operative Evaluation of a Desktop Virtual Reality System A summative usability evaluation of a desktop virtual reality (VR) system was developed and a preliminary study then conducted. The purpose of the study was twofold. Firstly, to test whether the traditional evaluation technique, co-operative evaluation, is eff...

Stochastic Attribute Selection Committees Classifier committee learning methods generate multiple classifiers to form a committee by repeated application of a single base learning algorithm. The committee members vote to decide the final classification. Two such methods, Bagging and Boosting, have shown great success w...

Detecting Concept Drift with Support Vector Machines For many learning tasks where data is collected over an extended period of time, its underlying distribution is likely to change. A typical example is information filtering, i.e. the adaptive classification of documents with respect to a particular user interest. Bot...
