These individual software agents solve users' problems either by themselves or via cooperation. The efficiency of cooperation plays a serious role in the systems considered. We have focused on the development of a twin-base approach for agents to model the capabilities of each other, and thus achieve efficient cooperation. The current version of the ViSe2 implementation is an experimental model of an agent-based expert system. We have run some performance tests, and compared with other cooperation approaches in distributed AI. The results received so far indicate that the ViSe2 agents serve their users in an efficient cooperation manner.","PeriodicalId":161975,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Engineering Systems","volume":"277 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134312616","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Classical energy balance methods and network analysis have been used by previous investigators to evaluate the relevant exchange-factors of any spherical collector. The complex characteristics of the radiative flux in automatic control systems of such surfaces, the simplifying assumptions, and the complexity and the size of the equation matrices used, limit the application of such methods even to very simple cases, and also does not often supply the desired accuracy because of the very high temperatures at the solar collectors focal point. As a realistic engineering solution, in the current work, a fast and accurate measurement system in conjunction with the relevant online closed loop control system is suggested. In the suggested method, measurement of the radiative heat flux of the complex surfaces is conducted using the Monte-Carlo statistical technique. The technique avoids many of the difficulties inherent in the averaging processes of the usual integral equation formulations. It also does not require the simultaneous solution of the complex equation matrix for the entire energy involved. The difference between either maximum or desired heat and the measured value of the radiative heat flux of the surface is reduced to an acceptable value by the closed loop control actuating signal. The system may also be used to control other types of radiation rather than \"heat fluxes\", over spherical and complex surfaces.","PeriodicalId":161975,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Conference on Intelligent Engineering Systems","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126250237","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
