An approximate time line of key animat ideas and agent systems is presented and discussed. These ideas have led to a unique animat simulation model for studying emergence effects in artificial life systems and this predator-prey model is employed to study emergent behaviours in systems of up to around one million individual animat agents. The patterns, structures and emergent properties of the model are compared with the spatial patterns formed in non-intelligence based models that are governed only by statistical mechanics. An emergent species separation effect is found amongst the prey animats when a simple genetic marker is employed to track animats and introduce a microscopic breeding preference. Results are presented using quantitative metrics such as the animal spatial density and the pair-wise density-density correlation function. Ways in which these metrics can be used to categorize different self-organizational model regimes are discussed.","PeriodicalId":263450,"journal":{"name":"Web Intell.

Maybe that goal can be achieved through individual power: a framing concept for the agent's inner capabilities to achieve dominant goals. The research on individual power started from the BDI model and led to the distinction between external and internal factors in the agent's behaviour: while the former depends on the relation the agent has with its environment (including peers) and ties in with social power, the latter links up to the agent control and is rather less understood. In the individual power study, the focus is set on the integration of the agent's will, commitment and control structure. Such integration can be interpreted as an extension of the classic belief-desire-intention trilogy. \u0000 \u0000This paper describes an experiment about the integration of will and commitment management in the agent's control structure. The experiment consists of two teams of agents, competing for resource gathering. While one team features reactive control, the other team uses new ideas exploring meta-agency for agent control and will for behaviour design. This experiment illustrates the integration and a virtual application of previous work on these subjects. The meta-agent and mental states based control is proven able to define flexible and effective behaviours. The agent's will, by centralising the management of commitments, simplifies the implementation, debugging and interpretation of such behaviours.","PeriodicalId":263450,"journal":{"name":"Web Intell.

No search engine can cover the whole web, thus it has to focus on the most valuable pages for crawling. So an efficient crawling algorithm for retrieving the most important pages remains a challenging issue. Several algorithms like PageRank and OPIC have been proposed. Unfortunately, they have high time complexity and low throughput. In this paper, an intelligent crawling algorithm based on reinforcement learning, called FICA is proposed that models a random surfing user. The priority for crawling pages is based on a concept we call logarithmic distance. FICA is easy to implement and its time complexity is O(E*logV) where V and E are the number of nodes and edges in the web graph respectively. Comparison of FICA with other proposed algorithms shows that FICA outperforms them in discovering highly important pages. Furthermore, FICA computes the importance (ranking) of each page during the crawling process. Thus, we can also use FICA as a ranking method for computation of page importance. A nice property of FICA is its adaptability to the web in that it adjusts dynamically with changes in the web graph. We have used UK's web graph to evaluate our approach.","PeriodicalId":263450,"journal":{"name":"Web Intell.

There are many multiagent Q-learning methods, and most of them aim to converge to a Nash equilibrium, which is not desirable in games like the Prisoner's Dilemma (PD). However, normal Q-learning agents that use a stochastic method in choosing actions to avoid local optima may yield mutual cooperation in a PD game. Although such mutual cooperation usually occurs singly, it can be facilitated if the Q-function of cooperation becomes larger than that of defection after the cooperation. This work derives a theorem on how many consecutive repetitions of mutual cooperation are needed to make the Q-function of cooperation larger than that of defection. In addition, from the perspective of the author's previous works that discriminate utilities from rewards and use utilities for learning in PD games, this work also derives a corollary on how much utility is necessary to make the Q-function larger by one-shot mutual cooperation.","PeriodicalId":263450,"journal":{"name":"Web Intell.

Although RDF(S) enables specification and identification of data and relationships between data, it has some limitations as a foundational language of the Semantic Web. Firstly, the unconstrained framework of the RDF Schema makes it hard to share information from different sources. Furthermore, RDF(S) has limited expres-siveness as a vocabulary description language, which is partly due to insufficient object-oriented features. Finally, the unclear semantics of RDF(S), caused by language constructs with dual roles, impede any approach to provide reasoning support for the language. To overcome some of the limitations, this paper presents Layered RDF, a web information representation language based on RDF(S). Layered RDF distinguishes schema information from instance information by having separated layers. Furthermore, Layered RDF provides more powerful schema mechanisms than does RDF Schema, by incorporating object-oriented features such as inheritance and polymorphism.","PeriodicalId":263450,"journal":{"name":"Web Intell.

This method learns how to make a concession to an opponent for realizing win-win negotiation. To learn the concession strategy, we adopt reinforcement learning. First, an agent receives a proposal from an opponent. The agent recognizes a negotiation state using the difference between their proposals and the difference between their concessions. According to the state, the agent makes a proposal by reinforcement learning. A reward of the learning is a profit of an agreement and a punishment of negotiation breakdown. The experimental results showed that the agents could acquire the negotiation strategy that avoids negotiation breakdown and increases profits of an agreement. As a result, agents can acquire the action policy that strikes a balance between cooperation and competition.","PeriodicalId":263450,"journal":{"name":"Web Intell.

According to this architectural style, the functional components of the system are implemented in various programming languages as network-accessible “services” declaratively specified (in WSDL) and hierarchically composed in complex processes (using BPEL4WS). Despite this fundamentally distributed conceptualization of software architecture, most current BPEL4WS execution engines assume that the specification of the process composition is interpreted at run time by a central middleware node. This implies inflexible composition evolution: each time a partner process must be updated, all compositions to which it participates must also be updated to avoid potential failures at run time. This paper presents the WRABBIT project, which associates web services with agents capable of communication and reflective process execution. Through their reflective process execution, agents recognize run-time “conversation” errors, i.e., errors that occur due to changes in the rules of how the partner process should be composed. The agents consult declarative policy specifications to resolve such conversation failures, and they recover when these policies themselves are missing or incongruent. The ability to recover from these types of interaction errors requires an investment in a general web agent architecture that operates on a consistently modeled set of declarative specifications. The benefits and challenges of this approach for distributed services are discussed.","PeriodicalId":263450,"journal":{"name":"Web Intell.

Framework MERA both provides an automated buyer agent that manages auctions and a formal model that describes an auction mechanism. This model includes a class of preference relations used to express the buyer's preference relation, a class of request relations used to formulate the feedback, and a class of constraints used to express the initial requirements on the purchased item.
