Adaptive Agents and Multi-Agent Systems III. Adaptation and Multi-Agent Learning
Author: Karl Tuyls
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540779477
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 263
Book Description
This book contains selected and revised papers of the European Symposium on Adaptive and Learning Agents and Multi-Agent Systems (ALAMAS), editions 2005, 2006 and 2007, held in Paris, Brussels and Maastricht. The goal of the ALAMAS symposia, and this associated book, is to increase awareness and interest in adaptation and learning for single agents and mul- agent systems, and encourage collaboration between machine learning experts, softwareengineeringexperts,mathematicians,biologistsandphysicists,andgive a representative overviewof current state of a?airs in this area. It is an inclusive forum where researchers can present recent work and discuss their newest ideas for a ?rst time with their peers. Thesymposiaseriesfocusesonallaspectsofadaptiveandlearningagentsand multi-agent systems, with a particular emphasis on how to modify established learning techniques and/or create new learning paradigms to address the many challenges presented by complex real-world problems. These symposia were a great success and provided a forum for the pres- tation of new ideas and results bearing on the conception of adaptation and learning for single agents and multi-agent systems. Over these three editions we received 51 submissions, of which 17 were carefully selected, including one invited paper of this year’s invited speaker Simon Parsons. This is a very c- petitive acceptance rate of approximately 31%, which, together with two review cycles, has led to a high-quality LNAI volume. We hope that our readers will be inspired by the papers included in this volume.

An Agent-based Simulation of Double-auction Markets [microform]
Author: Ted Xiao Guo
Publisher: Library and Archives Canada = Bibliothèque et Archives Canada
ISBN: 9780494021668
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 150
Book Description
Agent-based simulation has emerged as a promising research alternative to the traditional analytical approach in studying financial markets. The idea behind agent-based simulation is to constructively model a market in a bottom-up fashion using artificial agents. This thesis aims to accomplish four objectives. The first objective is to present a high-quality software platform that is capable of carrying out agent-based financial market simulations. The second objective is to simulate a double-auction market with this software platform, using homogeneous zero-intelligence agents. The simulation is based on the artificial market model proposed by Smith; Farmer, Gillermot and Krishnamurthy (2003). The third objective is to study the microstructure properties of the simulated double-auction market. In particular, we investigate certain statistical properties for the mid-price, bid-ask spread and limit order book. The fourth and the last objective is to explore and evaluate trading strategies associated with the time-constrained asset liquidation problem through computational agents.

Principles of Practice in Multi-Agent Systems
Author: Jung-Jin Yang
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3642111610
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 671
Book Description
Agents are software processes that perceive and act in an environment, processing their perceptions to make intelligent decisions about actions to achieve their goals. Multi-agent systems have multiple agents that work in the same environment to achieve either joint or conflicting goals. Agent computing and technology is an exciting, emerging paradigm expected to play a key role in many society-changing practices from disaster response to manufacturing to agriculture. Agent and mul- agent researchers are focused on building working systems that bring together a broad range of technical areas from market theory to software engineering to user interfaces. Agent systems are expected to operate in real-world environments, with all the challenges complex environments present. After 11 successful PRIMA workshops/conferences (Pacific-Rim International Conference/Workshop on Multi-Agents), PRIMA became a new conference titled “International Conference on Principles of Practice in Multi-Agent Systems” in 2009. With over 100 submissions, an acceptance rate for full papers of 25% and 50% for posters, a demonstration session, an industry track, a RoboCup competition and workshops and tutorials, PRIMA has become an important venue for multi-agent research. Papers submitted are from all parts of the world, though with a higher representation of Pacific Rim countries than other major multi-agent research forums. This volume presents 34 high-quality and exciting technical papers on multimedia research and an additional 18 poster papers that give brief views on exciting research.

Emergent Intelligence of Networked Agents
Author: Akira Namatame
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3540710736
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 258
Book Description
The study of intelligence emerged from interactions among agents has been popular. In this study it is recognized that a network structure of the agents plays an important role. The current state-of-the art in agent-based modeling tends to be a mass of agents that have a series of states that they can express as a result of the network structure in which they are embedded. Agent interactions of all kinds are usually structured with complex networks. The idea of combining multi-agent systems and complex networks is also particularly rich and fresh to foster the research on the study of very large-scale multi-agent systems. Yet our tools to model, understand, and predict dynamic agent interactions and their behavior on complex networks have lagged far behind. Even recent progress in network modeling has not yet offered us any capability to model dynamic processes among agents who interact at all scales on complex networks. This book is based on communications given at the Workshop on Emergent Intelligence of Networked Agents (WEIN 06) at the Fifth International Joint Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multi-agent Systems (AAMAS 2006), which was held at Future University, Hakodate, Japan, from May 8 to 12, 2006. WEIN 06 was especially intended to increase the awareness of researchers in these two fields sharing the common view on combining agent-based modeling and complex networks in order to develop insight and foster predictive methodologies in studying emergent intelligence on of networked agents. From the broad spectrum of activities, leading experts presented important paper and numerous practical problems appear throughout this book. The papers contained in this book are concerned with emergence of intelligent behaviors over networked agents and fostering the formation of an active multi-disciplinary community on multi-agent systems and complex networks.
