A.M. Florea, Cognitive systems, COST Action IC0801 – WG1, 15 December, Ayia Napa, Cyprus AI-MAS Projects  AGATE: Self-organizing self-aware cognitive agent societies for modelling and simulation of complex systems – financed by CNCSIS  Self-organization of software agents  Self-aware software agents  Modify the behaviour and relationships in response to the interactions with other agents and with a dynamic environment.  Complex software systems, including systems comprising different artefacts (such as mobile devices, active RFIDs) and actors (such as artificial agents and human users).

A.M. Florea, Cognitive systems, COST Action IC0801 – WG1, 15 December, Ayia Napa, Cyprus AI-MAS Projects  SCIPA: Collaboration and Interoperability Semantic Software Services for Adaptive Business Processes  Interoperability of software services at semantic level  Adaptability of the business processes  Composition of new services in a dynamic business environment.  Business processes that include semantic annotation of components.

A.M. Florea, Cognitive systems, COST Action IC0801 – WG1, 15 December, Ayia Napa, Cyprus AI-MAS Projects  A-ROADS: A multi-agent system for next-generation urban traffic control environments  A multi-agent system for governing interactions of autonomous vehicles in intersections by exploiting the increasing amounts of available sensor data.  A vehicle is represented by an autonomous entity associated to the sensor instrument - vehicle agent  Junctions are represented by intersection agents.  Vehicle agents communicate with intersection agents in their proximity

A.M. Florea, Cognitive systems, COST Action IC0801 – WG1, 15 December, Ayia Napa, Cyprus AI-MAS Projects  MIRA - My IRrational Agent,  A model and an implementation of emotional agents  Extending the classical BDI model to cope with emotions  Agent’s mechanisms of belief change, decision-making and planning based on emotional intelligence.  Application: e-learning

A.M. Florea, Cognitive systems, COST Action IC0801 – WG1, 15 December, Ayia Napa, Cyprus AI-MAS Projects  ADEPT: A Multi-agent system based on autonomous agents with adjustable autonomy  Intelligent agents, which adapt their behavior, autonomy, task distribution and resource allocation according to the problem to be solved and to the given environment.  Agents have adjustable autonomy depending on the task and context  It also comprises agents that are hosted by small devices, such as smart phones.
