Developing Artificial Herders Using Jason
This paper gives an overview of a proposed strategy for the "Cows and Herders" scenario given in the Multi-Agent Programming Contest 2009. The strategy is to be implemented using the Jason platform, based on the agent-oriented programming language Agent-Speak. The paper describes the agents, their goals and the strateg...

Toward a Compositional Theory of Leftist Grammars and Transformations
Leftist grammars [Motwani et al., STOC 2000] are special semi-Thue systems where symbols can only insert or erase to their left. We develop a theory of leftist grammars seen as word transformers as a tool toward rigorous analyses of their computational power. Our main contributions in this first paper are (1) construct...

Control of Multi-Agent Formations with Only Shape Constraints
This paper considers a novel problem of how to choose an appropriate geometry for a group of agents with only shape constraints but with a flexible scale. Instead of assigning the formation system with a specific geometry, here the only requirement on the desired geometry is a shape without any location, rotation and, ...

Collective Intelligence, Data Routing and Braess' Paradox
We consider the problem of designing the the utility functions of the utility-maximizing agents in a multi-agent system so that they work synergistically to maximize a global utility. The particular problem domain we explore is the control of network routing by placing agents on all the routers in the network. Conventi...

Comparing Haar-Hilbert and Log-Gabor Based Iris Encoders on Bath Iris Image Database
This papers introduces a new family of iris encoders which use 2-dimensional Haar Wavelet Transform for noise attenuation, and Hilbert Transform to encode the iris texture. In order to prove the usefulness of the newly proposed iris encoding approach, the recognition results obtained by using these new encoders are com...

Communicate only when necessary: Cooperative tasking for multi-agent systems
New advances in large scale distributed systems have amazingly offered complex functionalities through parallelism of simple and rudimentary components. The key issue in cooperative control of multi-agent systems is the synthesis of local control and interaction rules among the agents such that the entire controlled sy...

Competitive Safety Analysis: Robust Decision-Making in Multi-Agent Systems
Much work in AI deals with the selection of proper actions in a given (known or unknown) environment. However, the way to select a proper action when facing other agents is quite unclear. Most work in AI adopts classical game-theoretic equilibrium analysis to predict agent behavior in such settings. This approach howev...
