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). |

Magenta Logistics i-Scheduler is an advanced software tool that
smartlyplans, re-plans and allocates business resources to tasks within
atransportation business network under highly dynamic conditions. It
providessmart planning for transportation logistics in real time and
batch modeusing new cutting-edge methods of conflict-driven problem
solving, logisticsexpert's and operator's knowledge and experience,
forecast and historicaldata. The i-Scheduler rapidly responds to
changes in the environment andmanages the complex cascading of a single
change across many inter-related,dependent items within a plan. This
rapid response to volatility can reducelead times; improve recourse
utilization and service to key customers;increase efficiency and
relevance of business processes. |

Magenta Ocean i-Scheduler is a near real-time intelligent scheduler
capableof selecting the best cargo for your vessels and the best vessel
for youcargo. Ocean uses Magenta's patented multi-agent technology to
check allpossible options and produces full calculations for all those
which arefeasible; it then ranks them according to KPIs taking into
account yourpreferences for customers, routes and positioning for next
cargo but withstrong visualisations and a simplified workflow Ocean
puts the user firmlyin control of the final decision. Ocean will
re-plan your fleet to resolveissues such as vessel running late or just
to see if you could make moremoney, reduce idle days, improve income
(TCE) or take in a re-let for alucrative cargo.Ocean uses Java based
technology for web-enabled global enterprise-wideavailability and
scalability. |

Posted on Thu, 19 Jan 2006 11:28:06 EST
The IADIS Intelligent Systems and Agents 2006 conference addresses in
detail two main aspects: intelligent systems and agents. This
conference has a unique concept: it is a scientific conference hosted
virtually. This means that the quality of a scientific conference (with
the peer reviewed submissions, the publication in a book and CD with
ISBN, the possibility of best papers being considered for publication
as extended versions in journals) comes together with the benefit of
being at your office or at home and taking part in it at any time
during its 5 days duration. You choose which sessions to attend from
the conference themes offered and you can tailor your best schedule. To
be held 15-19 May 2006. Papers due 8 February 2006. |

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. |

by George Dyson. My visit to Google? Despite the whimsical furniture
and other toys, I felt I was entering a 14th-century cathedral — not
in the 14th century but in the 12th century, while it was being built.
Everyone was busy carving one stone here and another stone there, with
some invisible architect getting everything to fit. The mood was
playful, yet there was a palpable reverence in the air. "We are not
scanning all those books to be read by people," explained one of my
hosts after my talk. "We are scanning them to be read by an AI." |

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. |

- AAAI 06 is to be held 16-20 July 2006 in Boston, MA. Papers due 21
February 2006. AAAI has a senior member papers track, a nectar papers
track (for papers already published at other major conferences), and

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.) 592
AgentLink's Roadmap -
AgentLink's "Roadmap for Agent-Based Computing" has been updated. It
provides an assessment of the current situation with respect to the
status of agent technologies, and indicates key directions for future
development of the field. 590
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. 589
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. 181
Reputation and Trust Competition

for paintings from different eras; if an appraiser agent does not have
the expertise to complete the appraisal, it can purchase opinions from
other appraiser agents. Appraiser agents may also purchase from each
other reputation information about other appraisers. Appraiser agents

2006 with AAMAS. 179
Self-Organizing Sensors
- The Evolutionary and Self-Organizing Sensors , Actuators and Processing Hardware Workshop. "Recent
technology has witnessed the advent of cheap ubiquitoussensing,
processing and actuating capabilities for isolated,distributed or
collective robotic systems. These appear in the form ofintelligent
materials, nano-motors and -sensors,Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems
(MEMS), grid processors,Avogadro-scale digital circuits and similar
structures. Establishedconventional AI computation paradigms do not
harness the fullpotential of this new type of technological ability
that includesdynamic reconfiguration, addition or removal of sensors,
actuators orprocessing hardware. "So we need new ideas. It is to be held 14-16 September 2005 in Melbourne, Australia with KES 2005. Papers due 4 March 2005.
