Finding compromises between local and global ontology querying in multiagent systems
(Springer Verlag, 2004)
As Ontologie knowledge gets more and more important in agent-based systems, its handling becomes crucial for successful applications. In the context of agent-based applications, we propose a hybrid approach, in which part ...
Evaluating the Efficiencies of Academic Research Groups: A Problem of Shared Outputs
(World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd, 2018-12-01)
Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a methodology for evaluating the relative efficiencies of a set of decision-making units (DMUs), based on their multiple inputs and outputs. The original model is based on the assumption ...
Towards a causal framework for intelligent agents development
(2009-11-13)
In this paper we present a Causal Artificial Intelligence Design (CAID) theory that borrows notions from Classical philosophy for modeling intelligent agents. Principles introduced by this theory are used for extending a ...
Factors influencing the formation of intra-institutional formal research groups: group prediction from collaboration, organisational, and topical networks
(Springer Nature, 2018-01-01)
The factors that foster successful scientific collaboration and team- work have been studied extensively. However, these factors have been studied in isolation and it is not clear to what extent one factor is more relevant ...
Refining semantically annotated business process diagrams
(CEUR-WS, 2016-11-23)
Business Process Diagrams (BPDs) provide a rich graphical expressiveness for modeling not only business processes but also the development of collective human activities. In Multiagent platforms, BPDs has been used for ...
A knowledge-based entrepreneurial approach for business intelligence in strategic technologies: Bio-MEMS
(2005-08-15)
We propose a knowledge-based entrepreneurial (KBE) approach for business intelligence in strategic technologies at industrial sectors. The KBE approach is at the convergence of business intelligence and knowledge management ...
A hybrid local-global approach for handling ontologies in a multiagent system
(2004-06-24)
As Ontologic knowledge gets more and more important in agent-based systems, its handling becomes crucial for successful applications. We propose a hybrid approach, in which part of the ontology is handled locally, using a ...
A multiagent knowledge and information network approach for managing research assets
(ELSEVIER, 2010-07)
We describe a knowledge and information network approach for managing research assets in a knowledge-oriented organization using a multiagent system. The purpose of the approach is to provide decision makers a knowledge ...
A probabilistic BPMN normal form to model and advise human activities
(Springer Verlag, 2015-05-05)
Agent-based technologies, originally proposed with the aim of assisting human activities, have been recently adopted in industry for automating business processes. Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) is a standard ...
Using activity theory and causal diagrams for designing multiagent systems that assist human activities
(Springer Verlag, 2013-11-30)
In this paper, we propose to use the Activity Theory and causal diagrams for modelling human activities with the aim of facilitating the specification of an agent-based assistance system through the Prometheus methodology. ...
