Posted on Thu, 13 Jul 2006 17:32:06 EDT 
Colored Trails (CT) is a test-bed for investigating the types of decision-making that arise in task settings where the key interactions are among goals (of individuals or of groups), tasks required to accomplish those goals, and resources. The CT architecture allows games to be played by groups comprising people, computer agents, or heterogeneous mixes of people and computers. The purpose of the CT framework is to enable to design, learn and evaluate players' decision-making behavior as well as group dynamics in settings of varying complexity. |

A Carnegie Mellon University computer scientist has demonstrated that you don't necessarily need to know much about poker to create a computer program that can play a winning hand of Texas Hold'Em. A knowledge of game theory, not the specialized expertise of a human poker player, is at the heart of the poker robot called GS1 developed by Tuomas Sandholm, director of Carnegie Mellon's Agent-Mediated Electronic Marketplaces Lab, and graduate student Andrew Gilpin. |

Posted on Thu, 25 May 2006 06:54:45 EDT
The Agent Applications, Research and Technologies (Agent ART) Group of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Liverpool, UK, has available a three-year PhD scholarship on a project studying Market-Based Control of Complex Computational Systems (MBC). This project is funded by the UK EPSRC as a collaborative project with the Universities of Birmingham and Southampton, and supported by BAE Systems, British Telecommunications and Hewlett-Packard. The project aims to explore market- and exchange-based methods for design and management of complex computational systems. This is one of a portfolio of EPSRC projects studying computer systems as complex adaptive systems. |

A special issue of IJAOSE will be dedicated to consolidating thecombined use of AOSE methodologies and agent programming languages andplatforms for agent-based software development. One typical issue isthat of how the usual abstractions used in agent-oriented design (suchas goals, plans, protocols, roles, norms, organisations) are mapped intospecific constructs in programming languages for multi-agent systems. Ofno less importance is the provision for essential parts of thedevelopment process, such as debugging and testing. Any majordevelopment which has been done in accordance to well known AOSEmethodologies as well as using programming languages for multi-agentsystems would also be of significant interest. Papers due 31 August 2006. |

Posted on Mon, 20 Feb 2006 14:52:16 EST
The Recursive Porous Agent Simulation Toolkit (Repast) is one of several agent modeling toolkits that are available. Repast borrows many concepts from the Swarm agent-based modeling toolkit [1]. Repast is differentiated from Swarm since Repast has multiple pure implementations in several languages and built-in adaptive features such as genetic algorithms and regression. Repast is a free open source toolkit that was originally developed by Sallach, Collier, Howe, North and others [5]. Repast was created at the University of Chicago. Subsequently, it has been maintained by organizations such as Argonne National Laboratory. Repast is now managed by the non-profit volunteer Repast Organization for Architecture and Development (ROAD). |

Platform for Multiagent Learning
- This is a program for robustly testing your learning algorithm in a multiagent scenario. It lets you test with a wide variety of games (payoff matrices). It will run all the experiments and produce visualizations. It runs on Matlab and needs GAMUT and Gambit.

Chimera Agents
- Chimera is a wonderfully uncomplicated, yet deeply powerful agent development and deployment tool for WIN-PROLOG. Using Chimera, you can write sophisticated multi-agent applications which can run on multiple machines across any TCP/IP network, from a small home setup to the entire Internet. Chimera combines the heuristic intelligence modelling of logic programming, enhancing the standard relational nature of Prolog with an intuitive system of raising and responding to events, both locally and across network connetions.

DEC-POMDP
- Over the past couple of years there has been growning interest in formal models for coordination among multipe agents. We study one such model, the decentralized partially observable Markov decision process (DEC-POMDP). This web site was created to provide information about the model and the algorithms used to solve DEC-POMDPs.

Combinatorial Auctions
- by Peter Cramton (Editor), Yoav Shoham (Editor), Richard Steinberg (Editor). The study of combinatorial auctions -- auctions in which bidders can bid on combinations of items or "packages" -- draws on the disciplines of economics, operations research, and computer science. This landmark collection integrates these three perspectives, offering a state-of-the art survey of developments in combinatorial auction theory and practice by leaders in the field.

Outfoxed
- Outfoxed is the tip of the next phase of searching. Instead of blindly assuming that every link on the web is an endorsment placed there in good faith, it allows for explicit assesments of quality to be given. These assesments are not all treated equally, but preference is given to those that are closer to the searcher within a [sort of*] social network. People closer to the searcher are more likely to share the searchers values. This system alows for high quality sites to shine, and poor quality sites to be weeded out. (By using the unique properties of small-world networks.)
