Makes the case for using models that emphasize insider/emic information as well as the usual outsider/etic information

Discussion of the spread of HIV, Herpes, and other viruses. Models are used to make predictions of how specific treatments will prevent spreading of certain strains but will expedite the spread of other, drug-resistant strains.

Keywords: Antiviral, Drug Resistance, Mathematical Model

A formalisation built on logic of the probabilistic actions of reactive agents. Proofs are included of invariants in agent behavior while in specific domains.

Keywords: None

Poses that rationality in agents does not necessarily equate selfishness or a lack of cooperation with other agents

Keywords: Cooperation, Altruism, Rationality, Cognition

Argues that evolutionary and designed algorithms could benefit from the inclusion of guilt and responsibility factors in the agents

Keywords: Infosocieties, Social Order, Reputation, Reciprocal Altruism, Cognitive Agents

In-depth analysis on the nature of responsibility and how to utilize the idea in multi-agent systems

Keywords: Responsibility, Agents, Cognitive Modeling, E-Governance, Organization Theory

Discussion of complex networks. The paper includes experiments comparing the amount of time required for various kinds of networks to reach agreement on social conventions.

Keywords: Conventions, Emergent Behavior, Coordination, Multi-agent Systems

A visual modeling procedure for designing lightweight mobile agents. The process uses a Statecharts variant which can be translated into Java code using the Mobile Active Object (MAO) framework.

Keywords: Statecharts, Mobile Agents, Design Patterns, Frameworks, Java

An introduction to a mathematical model of computation that puts ideas in natural physics to use in software design.

Keywords: None

Looks like it was a short presentation. But nice overview of ideas.

Keywords: None

Open-ended points concerning artificial societies, modeling, and the nature of social interaction. Differences between conclusions arrived at through modelling and those discovered through other scientific experiments are examined.

Keywords: Complex Sysems, Modeling, Social Behavior, Synthetic Method

Experiments in two domains shows agents evolving different roles through Genetic Programming. Communication between agents greatly increases the efficiency of achieving the agents' goals

Keywords: Genetic Programming, Multi-agent System, Distributed Artificial Intelligence

In-depth discussion of the theory behind agent-based software and the research done in the field. Includes examples of current applications

Keywords: autonomous agents, multi-agent systems, history

Quick background on SIR (Susceptible, Infected, Recovered) model

Keywords: None

Uses computer models to show how various strains of influenza often only produce one peak of infection

Keywords: Influenza, Model, Cross-protection, Illness Peak

A process for explaining Bond Graphs that relies chiefly on Kirchhoff's laws.

Keywords: None

Explanation of ERA (Environment, Reactive rules, and Agents), a method for using multi-agent systems to solve constraint satisfaction problems such as n-queens and coloring. ERA has the advantage of being able to generate approximate solutions if computation time is limited.

Keywords: Constraint Satisfaction, Reactive Moving Behaviors, Behavior Prioritization, Behavior Selection, Experimental Validation

Background on the spread of influenza and a summary of compiled data

Keywords: Influenza illness, Pneumonia and influenza deaths, Influenza vaccine, Tropical disease

Modelling of influenza outbreaks using consultation data and linear regression. As new data comes in, one updates the projected severity of the outbreak.

Keywords: None

Experiments in several domains using mobile reactive agents (sometimes with simple internal states). The paper discusses the power of sensory-motor coordination and the emergent behavior even purely reactive agents can exhibit.

abstract

Keywords: None

Overview of many current projects working on agent-based computing. Discussion includes comparison of theory and implementation between the projects, what is required or at least important for practical agent-based computing.

In-depth paper on the ideas and use of multi-agent systems in Sociology

Keywords: Computer Simulation, Multi-agent Systems, Sociological Theory, Emergence

Discussion on the differences between usage of the terms micro, meso, macro, etc. in sociology and distributed artificial intelligence. The paper includes suggestions on how sociology can aid in DAI's progress and vice versa.

Keywords: None

Uses a mathematical model to analyze when and how drugs/treatments could best be used to combat epidemics

Keywords: None

An experiment with animated agents in bullying scenarios shows that boys empathize more with male characters than with female characters. However, girls empathize with characters of both genders well.
