Flexible Distributed Particle Filtering for the Internet of Things via Aggregate Computing
Angela Cortecchia, Davide Domini, Giovanni Ciatto +3
State estimation from uncertain, distributed observations is central in many cyber-physical applications. While Distributed Particle Filtering (DPF) algorithms address nonlinear an…
Testing BDI-based Multi-Agent Systems using Discrete Event Simulation
Martina Baiardi, Samuele Burattini, Giovanni Ciatto +1
Multi-agent systems are designed to deal with open, distributed systems with unpredictable dynamics, which makes them inherently hard to test. The value of using simulation for thi…
Concurrency Model of BDI Programming Frameworks: Why Should We Control It?
Martina Baiardi, Samuele Burattini, Giovanni Ciatto +3
We provide a taxonomy of concurrency models for BDI frameworks, elicited by analysing state-of-the-art technologies, and aimed at helping both BDI designers and developers in makin…
On the external concurrency of current BDI frameworks for MAS
Martina Baiardi, Samuele Burattini, Giovanni Ciatto +3
The execution of Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agents in a Multi-Agent System (MAS) can be practically implemented on top of low-level concurrency mechanisms that impact on efficie…
