A multi-agent system with application in project scheduling

The new economic and social dynamics increase project complexity and makes scheduling problems more difficult, therefore scheduling requires more versatile solutions as Multi Agent Systems (MAS). In this paper the authors analyze the implementation of a Multi-Agent System (MAS) considering two scheduling problems: TCPSP (Time-Constrained Project Scheduling), and RCPSP (Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling). The authors propose an improved BDI (Beliefs, Desires, and Intentions) model and present the first the MAS implementation results in JADE platform.multi-agent architecture, scheduling, project management, BDI architecture, JADE.

Решение некоторых проблем защиты мультиагентных систем

In article the analysis of categories of the distributed systems and characteristic threats for them is carried out. The basic attention is given development of methods of protection in multiagent systems. Realization of platform methods of protection in multiagent systems is considered.Проводится анализ категорий распределенных систем и характерных для них угроз. Основное внимание уделяется разработке методов защиты мультиагентных систем. Рассмотрена реализация платформенных методов защиты мультиагентных систем

Handling Resource Oscillations Through Selective Misinformation

When resource consumers select among competing providers based on delayed information, inefficient oscillations in resource utilization can emerge. This paper describes an approach, based on selective stochastic resource request rejection, for dealing with this emergent dysfunction.This work was supported by the NSF Computational and Social Systems program as well as the DARPA Control of Agent-Based Systems program
