| Title: | An Algorithm for Distributed On-line On-board Evolutionary Robotics |
| Abstract: | This paper presents part of an endeavour towards robots and robot collectives that can adapt their controllers autonomously and self-sufficiently and so independently learn to cope with situations unforeseen by their designers. introduce the Embodied Distributed Evolutionary Algorithm (DEA) for on-line on-board adaptation of robot controllers. experimentally evaluate DEA using a number of well-known tasks in the evolutionary robotics field to determine whether it is a viable implementation of on-line on-board evolution. compare it to the encapsulated mu+1algorithm in terms of (the stability of) task performance and the sensitivity to parameter settings. show that DEA provides an effective method for on-line on-board adaptation of robot controllers. to mu+1 in terms of performance there is no clear winner but in terms of sensitivity to parameter settings and stability of performance DEA is significantly better than mu+1. |

| Title: | Racing to Improve On-line On-board Evolutionary Robotics |
| Abstract: | In evolutionary robotics robot controllers are often evolved in a separate development phase preceding actual deployment - we call this off-line evolution. on-line evolutionary robotics by contrast robot controllers adapt through evolution while the robots perform their proper tasks not in a separate preliminary phase. this case individual robots can contain their own self-sufficient evolutionary algorithm (the encapsulated approach) where individuals are typically evaluated by means of a time sharing scheme: an individual is given the run of the robot for some amount of time and fitness corresponds to the robot's task performance in that period. was originally introduced as a model selection procedure that quickly discards clearly inferior models. propose and experimentally validate racing as a technique to cut short the evaluation of poor individuals before the regular evaluation period expires. allows an increase of the number of individuals evaluated per time unit but it also increases the robot's actual performance by virtue of abandoning controllers that perform inadequately. Our experiments show that racing can improve the performance of robots that adapt their controllers by means of an on-line evolutionary algorithm significantly. |

Approximating Safe Spacing Policies for Adaptive Cruise Control Strategies

| Title: | Approximating Safe Spacing Policies for Adaptive Cruise Control Strategies |
| Abstract: | In the development of Cooperative Adaptive Cruise Control (CACC) systemspolicies are primarily developed for optimisation of string and traffic stability. However the safety issue is hardly taken account. Uncertainty in the communication network and sensor makes deciding upon a safe minimal headway a non-trivial task. this paper we propose a model that is able to approximate the minimal time headway given uncertainty of parameters with varying velocities. simulating emergency stops we use the difference in displacement of the and a desired maximum probability of a crash to approximate the time headway that yields this probability of a crash. The resulting is necessary for platooning a major research development in networking systems. |

| Title: | Evolving Art Using Multiple Aesthetic Measures |
| Abstract: | In this paper we investigate and compare four aesthetic measures within the context of evolutionary art. We evolve visual art with an unsupervised evolutionary art system using genetic programming and an aesthetic measure as the fitness function. We perform multiple experiments with different aesthetic measures and examine their influence on the evolved images. To this end we store the 5 fittest individuals of each run and hand-pick the best 9 images after finishing the whole series. This way we create a portfolio of evolved art for each aesthetic measure for visual inspection. Additionally we perform a cross-evaluation by calculating the aesthetic value of images evolved by measure i according to measure j. This way we investigate the flexiblity of each aesthetic mea- sure (i.e. whether the aesthetic measure appreciates different types of images). The results show that aesthetic measures have a rather clear 'style' and that these styles can be very different. Furthermore we find that some aesthetic measures show very little flexibility and appreciate only a limited set of images. |

| Title: | Evolving Art with Scalable Vector Graphics |
| Abstract: | In this paper we introduce the use of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) as a representation for evolutionary art. We describe the technical aspects of using SVG in evolutionary art and explain the genetic operators mutation and crossover. Furthermore we compare the use of SVG with existing representations in evolutionary art. We performed a number of experiments in an unsupervised evolutionary art system using two aesthetic measures as fitness functions and compared the outcome of the different experiments with each other and with previous work with symbolic expressions as the representation. All images and SVG code examples in this paper are available at http://www.few.vu.nl/ eelco |

| Title: | Embodied Artificial Evolution: The Future of Artificial Evolutionary Systems |
| Abstract: | This article is a vision paper about what we call embodied artificial evolution. The main objective is to offer an 'umbrella' term and vision to aid the development of a high potential research area. We introduce the vision by a few concrete examples and identify two major enablers. We also describe some possible benefits of embodied artificial evolution technology and discuss some of the essential challenges on the technical level e.g. reproduction mechanisms kill switch and on a higher level e.g. design methodology. |

| Title: | Diversity Measurement of Recommender Systems under Different User Choice Models |
| Abstract: | Recommender systems are increasingly used for personalised navigation through large amounts of information especially in the e-commerce domain for product purchase advice. Whilst much research effort is spent on developing recommenders further there is little to no effort spent on analysing the impact of them -- neither on the supply (company) nor demand (consumer) side. In this paper we investigate the diversity impact of a movie recommender. We define diversity for different parts of the domain and measure it in different ways. The novelty of our work is the usage of real rating data (from Netflix) and a recommender system for investigating the (hypothetical) effects of various configurations of the system and users' choice models. We consider a number of different scenarios (which differ in the agent's choice model) run very extensive simulations analyse various measurements regarding experimental validation and diversity and report on selected findings. The choice models are an essential part of our work since these can be influenced by the owner of the recommender once deployed. |

| Abstract: | In business analysis models are sometimes oversimplified. We pragmatically many problems with a single financial objective and include values for non-monetary variables. We enforce constraints which not be as strict in reality. Based on a case in distributed energy we illustrate how we can avoid simplification by modeling objectives solving it with an NSGA-II algorithm with a novel operator. Advantages include a strengthened focus on the relation between financial and non-monetary objectives. We that this approach is very applicable in a business analysis setting. |

| Title: | Parameter Tuning of Evolutionary Algorithms: Generalist vs. Specialist |
| Abstract: | Finding appropriate parameter values for Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) is one of the persistent challenges of Evolutionary Computing. In recent publications we showed how the REVAC (Relevance Estimation and VAlue Calibration) method is capable to find good EA parameter values for single problems. Here we demonstrate that REVAC can also tune an EA to a set of problems (a whole test suite). Hereby we obtain robust rather than problem-tailored parameter values and an EA that is a 'generalist' rather than a 'specialist'. The optimized parameter values prove to be different from problem to problem and also different from the values of the generalist. Furthermore we compare the robust parameter values optimized by REVAC with the supposedly robust conventional values and see great differences. This suggests that traditional settings might be far from optimal even if they are meant to be robust. |

| Title: | HyperNEAT for Locomotion Control in Modular Robots |
| Abstract: | In an application where autonomous robots can amalgamate spontaneously arbitrary organisms the individual robots cannot know a priori at location in an organism they will end up. If the organism is to be controlled by the constituent robots an evolutionary algorithm that the controllers can only develop a single genome that will have to suffice every individual robot. However the robots should show different behaviour on their position in an organism meaning their phenotype should be depending on their location. In this paper we demonstrate a solution this problem using the HyperNEAT generative encoding technique with differentiated expression. We develop controllers for organism locomotion obstacle avoidance as a proof of concept. Finally we identify promising directions for further research. |

| Abstract: | On-line on-board evolution of robot controllers an inherent need for adjusting the parameters of evolutionary algorithm on-the-fly. In this paper we argue the most influential factor to govern evolution in our is the mutation operator. To address the problem adjusting its parameter(s) we identify different on-line control mechanisms and perform an experimental among them. The experiments are carried out in high quality simulator Webots for three different tasks the robots. The results are not fully consistent over the considered yet they support a preference for the derandomised self-adaptive mutation step size control. |

| Title: | Modelling social learning of language and skills |
| Abstract: | In this this article we present a model of social learning of both language and skills while assuming --insofar possible-- strict autonomy virtual embodiment and situatedness. This model is built by integrating various previous models on language development and social learning and it is this integration that under the mentioned assumptions provides novel challenges. The aim of the article is to investigate what socio-cognitive mechanisms agents should have in order to be able to transmit language from one generation to the next so that it can be used as a medium to transmit internalised rules that represent skill-knowledge. We perform experiments where this knowledge solves the familiar poisonous food problem. Simulations reveal under what conditions regarding population structure agents can successfully solve this problem. In addition to issues relating to perspective taking and mutual exclusivity we show that agents need to co-ordinate interactions such that they can establish joint attention in order to form a scaffold for language learning which in turn forms a scaffold for the learning of rule-based skills. Based on these findings we conclude by hypothesising that social learning at one level forms a scaffold for the social learning at another higher level thus contributing to the accumulation of cultural knowledge. |

| Title: | Online Adaptation of Path Planning in UAV Search-and-Identify Missions |
| Abstract: | In this paper we propose a technique for optimisation and online adaptation of search paths of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in search-and-identify missions. In these missions a UAV has the objective to search for targets and to identify those. We extend earlier work that was restricted to oine generation of search paths by enabling the UAVs to adapt the search path online (i.e. at runtime). We let the UAV start with a pre-planned search path and adapt this at runtime based on expected value of information that can be acquired in the remainder of the mission. We show experimental results from 3 different types of UAV agents: two benchmark agents (one without any online adaptation that we call 'naive' and one with predefined online behaviour that we call 'exhaustive') and one with adaptive online behaviour that we call 'adaptive'. Our results show that the adaptive UAV agent outperforms both the benchmarks in terms of jointly optimising the search and identify objectives. |

| Title: | Distributed control of mobile resources: a multi-agent approach applied to bicycle sharing |
| Abstract: | In multi-agent systems where resources are mobile and can move between agents controlling those resources in real-time is often only possible in a distributed (decentralised) way. If we can endow the resources with information (e.g. about how well the resources are distributed) we can apply a large number of solutions (also from other disciplines) to the problem of distributed control. In this paper we assume a system with active agents that control resources moving between them and where we can attach (system) information (e.g. average resource load) to the resources. The activity of the agents is such that they execute local algorithms for resource control based on 1) knowledge about their own resources and 2) information attached to incoming resources. The algorithms that we use are based on an economic model where agents can make themselves more or less attractive to resources; we aim to distribute resources evenly over all agents. We apply our approach in a scenario of a bicycle sharing system: agents are stations where users can park rented bikes; the bikes are resources which carry information about the load of other agents. By means of a simulation study we investigate if our approach can improve load balancing and as a result user satisfaction. |

| Title: | Individual-based simulation of sexual selection: A quantitative genetic approach |
| Abstract: | Sexual selection has been mathematically modeled using quantitative genetics as well as population genetics. Two-locus simulation models have been used to study the evolution of male display and female preference. We present an individual-based simulation model of sexual selection in a quantitative genetic context. We show that under certain conditions Fisherian self-reinforcing sexual selection takes effect predicted by Lande's analytic model of female choice. We also show that the dynamics involved in the co-evolution of male display and female preference is much more complex than mathematics would predict. We therefore argue that the study of sexual selection through individual-based simulation could give new and more realistic insight into a world dominated by overly simplified equations. |

| Title: | Modelling dynamic forgetting in distributed information systems |
| Abstract: | We describe and model a new aspect in the design of distributed in- formation systems. We build upon a previously described problem on the micro- level which asks how quickly agents should discount (forget) their experience: If they cherish their memories they can build their reports on larger data sets; if they discount quickly they can respond well to change in their environment. Here we argue that on the macro-level where agents disseminate information the coordination of these micro-level strategies of discounting can have signif- icant consequences on the system performance if the environment is uncertain. In our proposed model a referral network disseminates information about a dis- ruptive environment (a service provider) to a risk-averse client agent who uses this information to maximise his profit and then gives feedback into the refer- ral system. We model two simple strategies to dynamically find better discount- ing factors through central and decentral control. We show that with dynamic discounting rates the system can become more reactive. We discuss interdepen- dence of the system components in the light of differing discounting scenarios. In this work we build on a certainty-based trust representation and operators for it in referral systems developed by Josang [7] and Hang Wang and Singh [13 2]. |

| Title: | On-line On-board Evolution of Robot Controllers |
| Abstract: | This paper reports on a feasibility study into the evolution of robot controllers during the actual operation of robots (on-line) using only the computational resources within the robots themselves (on-board). We identify the main challenges that these restrictions imply and propose mechanisms to handle them. The resulting algorithm is evaluated in a hybrid system using the actual robots' processors interfaced with a simulator that represents the environment. The results show that the proposed algorithm is indeed feasible and the particular problems we encountered during this study give hints for further research. |

| Title: | Formal Analysis of Dynamics Within Philosophy of Mind by Computer Simulation |
| Abstract: | Computer simulations can be useful tools to support philosophers in validating their theories especially when these theories concern phenomena showing nontrivial dynamics. Such theories are usually informal whilst for computer simu- lation a formally described model is needed. In this paper a methodology is proposed to gradually formalise philosophical theories in terms of logically formalised dynamic properties. One outcome of this process is an executable logic-based tem- poral specification which within a dedicated software environment can be used as a simulation model to perform simulations. This specification provides a logical for- malisation at the lowest aggregation level of the basic mechanisms underlying a process. In addition dynamic properties at a higher aggregation level that may emerge from the mechanisms specified by the lower level properties can be specified. Software tools are available to support specification and to automatically check such higher level properties against the lower level properties and against generated simulation traces. As an illustration three case studies are discussed showing suc- cessful applications of the approach to formalise and analyse among others Clark's theory on extended mind Damasio's theory on core consciousness and Dennett's perspective on intertemporal decision making and altruism. |

| Title: | A Wireless Actuator-Sensor Neural Network for Evacuation Routing |
| Abstract: | A wireless sensor-actuator network is formed by nodes capable of sensing and acting upon its environment. Typical challenges in designing such networks include distributed signal processing synchronisation and communication as well as deployment of network nodes and scalable architec- tures for these networks. In this paper we look at the appli- cation of neural networks to individual nodes in a wireless network which result in a wireless sensor-actuator neural network model. We explain how the combination of sensor network and neural network technology can describe a sys- tem which maintains desired characteristics such as scala- bility and adaptability. We show further that such model can be successfully applied to an evacuation routing scenario. |

| Title: | Exploring Stable and Emergent Network Topologies |
| Abstract: | Many different types of networks e.g. economic social computer military and intelligent agent net- works have a fundamental property in common: they change over time. For various reasons nodes form and terminate links thereby rearranging the network. In this paper we experimentally analyse a structural network mechanism by means of computer simulations. With this mechanism nodes deliberately form and terminate links as they attempt to gain network advantage and/or an identifiable position in the net- work. Reiterative application of this mechanism which only uses local network characteristics results in emergent stable network topologies i.e. ring uni/bi-polar and complete networks. The process demon- strates that local decisions can shape global network structures. Our results may be used to derive rules of thumb for designing networks. |

| Title: | On Agent Modelling and System Simulation of Self-Organisation |
| Abstract: | Complex natural social technological and economic systems have recently given rise to the need of a new paradigm for computational systems that are adaptive can self-organise and exhibit emergent behaviour. The design of such systems concerns a homogeneous set of agents in which each agent receives an input and has to map it to a 'good' output and where self-organisation emerges from the interaction between agents. Although general and simple this concept is representative for a very wide spectrum of applications such as protocol design for large computer networks design of collective robotics and automative traffic engineering. Surpris- ingly only a handful of recent research is aimed at a domain-independent (or: general) design of such sys- tems. We propose as the solution for the design-problem a framework that tackles the local (agent) level formally and the global (system) level empirically. This allows us to do rigorous formal verification of the behaviour of the individual agents as well as large-scale empirical validation of the system as a whole. Besides it exploits the specific advantages of the approaches regarding the scale of the system: formalisation is good for small systems while simulation works well for (very) large systems. The objective of this paper is to further develop and exploit the idea of combining a formal approach on the agent level and an empirical approach on the system level in self-organisation. |

| Title: | SOTRIP: A Self Organizing Protocol for Traffic Information |
| Abstract: | The European Union recently proposed to increase Europe's radio spectrum for technology that allows cars to communicate traffic in- formation. By letting cars to communicate to each other less cars will end up in a traffic jam. It is estimated that traffic jams will cost the economy around 80 billion euro by 2010. Currently traffic news is collected by a central organ which processes the data and broadcasts the information to navigation tools (e.g. HD traffic by TomTom) internet websites and news programs. This information flow causes the driver to receive information about a traffic jam with a delay of approximately half an hour. In this paper a solu- tion is presented that is decentralised and which makes faster infor- mation dissemination possible. We introduce a vehicle-to-vehicle communication protocol (called SOTRIP) that works by letting cars on opposite lanes exchange information about the traffic situation on the road ahead for the receiving car. First experimental results confirm the better overall throughput especially with heavy traffic. |

| Title: | WILLEM: a Wireless InteLLigent Evacuation Method |
| Abstract: | In this paper we present WILLEM a system for dynamic evacuation routing in buildings using a wireless sensor net- work. Dynamic evacuation routing is the process of dy- namically determining the fastest routes to the exits. The routes may be changed in case a fire occurs somewhere. We also present an algorithm for detecting congestions in corridors during evacuation and a means of providing the people in those congestions an alternative route towards the exit. Each phase of the method is descibed extensively: the deployment of the wireless sensor network the automatic topology learning of the network and the actual evacuation routing methods. We have built a simulation framework in which all types of evacuation routing can be simulated. The results of our experiments were surprising in the sense that dynamic evacuation routing turned out not to be faster than static evacuation routing in every setup; however we did find out why this is the case. We also performed some ex- periments on a real wireless sensor network in order to find out if our automatic configuration method could work in real life. The results are promising. We also present an algorithm for mapping the learned topology of the wireless sensor network upon a virtual map. This way the network topology can be visualised -- which is an important feature for emergency services. |

| Title: | Intuitive Action Set Formation in Learning Classifier Systems with Memory Registers |
| Abstract: | An important design goal in Learning Classifier Systems (LCS) is to equally reinforce those classifiers which cause the level of reward supplied by the environment. In this paper we propose a new method for action set formation in LCS. When applied to a Zeroth Level Classifier System with Memory registers (ZCSM) our method allows the distribution of rewards among classifiers which result in the same memory state rather than those encoding the same memory update action. |

| Title: | Social Learning in Population-based Adaptive Systems |
| Abstract: | The subject of the present investigation is Population-based Adaptive Systems (PAS) as implemented in the NEW TIES platform. In many existing PASs two adaptation mechanisms are combined (non-Lamarckian) evolution and individual learning inevitably raising the issue of 'forgetful populations': individually learned knowledge disappears when the individual that learned it dies. We propose social learning by explicit knowledge transfer to overcome this problem. Our mechanism is based on 1) direct communication among agents in the population 2) messages carrying rules that the sender agent uses in its controller and 3) the ability of the recipient agent to incorporate foreign rules into its controller. Thus knowledge can be disseminated and multiplied within the same generation making the population a knowledge reservoir for individually acquired knowledge. We present an initial assessment of this idea and show that this social mechanism is capable of efficiently distributing knowledge and improving the performance of the population. |

| Title: | An Evolutionary Perspective on Approximate RDF Query Answering |
| Abstract: | RDF is increasingly being used to represent large amounts of data on the Web. Current query evaluation strategies for RDF are inspired by databases assuming perfect answers on finite repositories. In this paper we focus on a query method based on evolutionary com- puting which allows us to handle uncertainty incompleteness and un- satisfiability and deal with large datasets all within a single conceptual framework. Our technique supports approximate answers with ''anytime'' behaviour. We present scalability results and next steps for improvement. |

| Title: | Beating Cheating: Dealing with Collusion in the Non-Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma |
| Abstract: | The Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma (IPD) is a well-known challenging problem for researching multi-agent interactions in competitive and cooperative situations. In this paper we present the Ask-First (AF) strategy for playing multi-agent non-Iterated PD (nIPD) that is based on evolving trust chains between agents. Each agent maintains a (relatively small) table containing trust values of other agents. When agents are to play each other they ask their neighbours what trust they put in the opponent. Chains are then followed until an agent is found that knows the opponent and the trust value is propagated back through the chain. The played move is then decided based upon this trust value. When two agents have played each other they update their trust tables on the basis of the outcome of the game. The strategy is first evaluated in a benchmark scenario where it is shown that it outperforms a number of benchmark strategies. Secondly we evaluate the strategy in a scenario with a group of colluding agents. The experiments show that the AF strategy is successful here as well. We conclude that the AF strategy is a highly flexible scalable and distributed way (the chain topology adapts to the way that agents are picked to play each other) to deal with a difficult multi-agent nIPD problem (i.e. robust against collusions). |

| Title: | Modeling the Dynamics of Task Allocation and Specialization in Honeybee Societies |
| Abstract: | The concept of organization has been studied in sciences such as social science and economics but recently also in artificial intelligence [Furtado 2005 Giorgini 2004 and McCallum 2005]. With the desire to analyze and design more complex systems consisting of larger numbers of agents (e.g. in nature society or software) the need arises for a concept of higher abstraction than the concept agent. To this end organizational modeling is becoming a practiced stage in the analysis and design of multi-agent systems. Hereby the environment in which the multi-agent organization participates has to be taken into consideration. An environment can have a high degree of variability which might require organizations that change to adapt to the environment's dynamics to ensure a continuous proper functioning of the organization. Hence such change processes are a crucial function of the organization and should be part of the organizational model. An organizational model incorporating organizational change can be specified in two ways: from a centralized perspective in which there is a central authority that determines the changes to be performed within the organization taking into account the current goals and environment see e.g. [Hoogendoorn 2004]. A second possibility is to create a model for organizational change from a decentralized perspective in which each agent decides for himself if and how to change its own role allocations. In the latter approach it is much more difficult for the organization as a whole to change in a coherent way still satisfying the goals set for the organization as there is no overall view of the organizational change. The approach might however be the only possibility for an organization to perform change as a central authority for performing change could be non existing or infeasible due to the nature of the organization. In the domain of social insects such as honeybees and wasps organizations are known to adapt in a decentralized fashion to environmental changes. This paper presents a generic model for decentralized organization change appropriate for such phenomena as occur in Nature. Such a model can aid developers of multi-agent systems in creating and analyzing such an organization. The description of the model is done from a generic perspective abstracting from the actual tasks being performed by the organization. The scope of the model is broader than simply being able to model social insects: the mechanisms incorporated in the model facilitating decentralized organizational change may work in other types of organizations as well. In [Bonebeau 2000] for example a comparable approach is used for finding an optimal allocation of cars to paint booths. |

| Title: | Designing Multi-Rover Emergent Specialization |
| Abstract: | We compare the efficacy of the Enforced Sub-Populations (ESP) and Collective Neuro-Evolution (CONE) methods for designing behavioral specialization in a multi-rover collective behavior task. These methods are tested for Artificial Neu- ral Network (ANN) controller design in an extension of the multi-rover task where behavioral specialization is known to benefit task performance. The task is for multiple simulated autonomous vehicles (rovers) to maximize the detection of points of interest (red rocks) in a virtual environment. The task requires rovers to collectively sense such points of inter- est in order for them to be detected. Results indicate that the CONE method facilitates a level of specialization appro- priate for achieving a significantly higher task performance comparative to rover teams evolved by the ESP method. |

| Title: | A controller architecture for the evolution of state-persistent controllers: Behaviour Oriented Decision Tree (BODT) |
| Abstract: | In this paper we present a new controller ar- chitecture. A central design choice is that the controller can be easily modified or changed by evolution. Our aim is to initially endow the agents with as little knowledge as possible and to let them evolve their controllers autonomously. One particular aspect of the controller that we will investigate in this research is the evolution of state persistent controllers. With this is meant controllers that that can carry out multiple tasks. Without state persistency agents may suffer from so- called ''unfocused attention'': the case where an agent is caught in the middle between tasks and interchangeably executes these partially but can and will never fully commit to either one and therefore never accomplish any. We will present the state- persistent controller architecture and demonstrate this property in an experiment. |

| Title: | An Agent-Based Approach to Autonomous Diagnosis in a Planetary Exploration Setting |
| Abstract: | The plans for manned missions to the Moon and Mars set substantial for developing crew support. Machines on planetary surfaces include habitats oxygen production plants exploration vehicles autonomous rovers. For long-duration missions there is a need a Mission Execution Crew Assistant (MECA) that empowers the cognitive of human-machine teams during planetary exploration missions order to cope autonomously with unexpected complex and potentially situations. MECA provides crew support that acts in a ubiquitous environment as electronic partner helping the crew to the situation to determine a suitable course of actions to a problem and to safeguard the astronaut from failures. important functionalities of MECA are health management and diagnosis they can prevent a Loss-of-Life in the event that an astronaut's suit is damaged while he is on an extra-vehicular activity When an astronaut goes on an EVA he has to be able to completely on the suit to diagnose itself even when MECA is not performingorder to support this there is a need for an internal autonomous diagnosis module that monitors life support systems (LSS) and is able to act pro-actively to ensure nominal LSS parameters |

| Title: | Trust-Based Inter-Temporal Decision Making: Emergence of Altruism in a Simulated Society |
| Abstract: | This paper contributes to the analysis of the question how altruistic behaviour can be in an agent's own interest. The question is addressed by in- volving a temporal dimension in which altruist behaviour at one point in time can be in the agent's interest at a future point in time depending on the envi- ronment. The claim is that to be able to make reasonable decisions an agent needs a cognitive system for intertemporal decision making in relation to a model of the environment. To address this a society of agents has been mod- elled simulated and analyzed. Some of the agents have a cognitive system in- cluding a model of the environment based on a dynamic model for trust in other agents. This environment model is combined with a model for intertemporal de- cision making. Agents with this cognitive system show more altruistic behav- iour they get a larger social network and become in the end healthier than agents without such a cognitive system. |

We are running an RL procedure and the EA simultaneously and the RL is changing the EA parameters on-the-fly. We evaluate this approach experimentally on a range of fitness landscapes with varying degrees of ruggedness. The re- sults show that EA calibrated by the RL-based approach outperforms a benchmark EA. |

| Title: | Collective Specialization for Evolutionary Design of a Multi-Robot System |
| Abstract: | This research is positioned in the context of controller design for (simulated) multi-robot applications. Inspired by research in survey and exploration of unknown environments where a multi-robot system is to discover features of interest given strict time and energy constraints we defined an abstract task domain with adaptable features of interest. Additionally we parameterized the behavioral features of the robots so that we could classify behavioral specialization in the space of these pa- rameters. This allowed systematic experimentation over a range of task instances and types of specialization in order to investigate the advan- tage of specialization. These experiments also delivered a novel neuro- evolution approach to controller design called the collective specializa- tion method. Results elucidated that this method derived multi-robot system controllers that outperformed a high performance heuristic and conventional neuro-evolution method. |

| Title: | New Ways to Calibrate Evolutionary Algorithms |
| Abstract: | The issue of setting the values of various parameters of an evolutionary algorithm (EA) is crucial for good performance. One way to do it is controlling EA parameters on-the-fly which can be done in various ways and for various parameters. We briefly review these options in general and present the findings of a literature search and some statistics about the most popular options. Thereafter we provide three case studies indicating a high potential for uncommon variants. In particular we recommend to focus on parameters regulating selection and population size rather than those concerning crossover and mutation. On the technical side the case study on adjusting tournament size shows by example that global parameters can also be self-adapted and that heuristic adaptation and pure self-adaptation can be successfully combined into a hybrid of the two. |

| Title: | Modeling centralized organization of organizational change |
| Abstract: | Organizations change with the dynamics of the world. To enable organi- zations to change certain structures and capabilities are needed. As all processes a change process has an organization of its own. In this paper it is shown how within a formal organization modeling approach also organizational change processes can be modeled. A generic organization model (covering both organization structure and be- havior) for organizational change is presented and formally evaluated for a case study. This model takes into account different phases in a change process considered in Or- ganization Theory literature such as unfreezing movement and refreezing. Moreover at the level of individuals the internal beliefs and their changes are incorporated in the model. In addition an internal mental model for (reflective) reasoning about expected role behavior is included in the organization model. |

| Title: | Modelling Decentralised Organizational Change in Honeybee Societies |
| Abstract: | Multi-agent organizations in dynamic environments need to have the ability to adapt to environmental changes to ensure a continuation of proper functioning. Such adaptations can be made through a centralized decision process or come from the individuals within the organization. In the domain of social insects such as honeybees and wasps organizations are known to adapt in a decentralized fashion to environmental changes. An organizational model for decentralized organizational change is presented that can aid in analyzing and designing such organizations. The model is specified by dynamic properties at different aggregation levels. At the lowest level such properties characterize the behavior of individual roles which can be related to higher level properties that express important elements such as survival of an organization. A honeybee colony is used as a case study. |

| Title: | Analysis of Meeting Protocols by Formalisation Simulation and Verification |
| Abstract: | Organizations depend on regular meetings to carry out their everyday tasks. When carried out successfully meetings offer a common medium for participants to exchange ideas and make deci- sions. However many meetings suffer from unfocused discussions or irrelevant dialogues. Within Social Science general informal meeting guidelines are sometimes formulated. To study meetings in detail we first formalize general properties of meetings and a generic meeting protocol for the role in- teractions in meetings that is coherent with such guidelines. This generic protocol is used as a starting point to study real-life meetings. First an example meeting is simulated based on the generic meeting protocol. The general properties are formally verified in the simulation trace. Next these properties are also verified formally against empirical data of a real meeting in the same context. A comparison of the two traces reveals that a real meeting is more robust since when exceptions happen and the properties of the protocol are violated these exceptions are handled effectively without damaging the success of the meeting. Given this observation a more refined protocol is specified that includes ex- ception-handling strategies. Based on this refined protocol a meeting is simulated that closely resem- bles the real meeting. This protocol is then validated against another set of data from another real meeting. By iteratively adding exception handling rules the protocol is enhanced to handle a variety of situations successfully. |

| Title: | Collective Specialization in Multi-Rover Systems |
| Abstract: | Neuro-Evolution (NE) methods have been successfully ap- plied to the rover task domain [1] [4]. However extending this domain to include the notion of using NE to facilitate emergent specialization in order to increase task perfor- mance has not yet been investigated. We introduce the Collective Neuro Evolution (CONE) method and compares its efficacy for designing specialization with a conventional NE method. CONE and conventional NE were applied to an extension of the multi-rover task [1] [4] for the purpose of designing collective behavior. This task requires solu- tions for controlling groups of simulated autonomous vehi- cles (rovers) that seek to maximize the number of points of interest discovered in an unexplored environment (global evaluation function). Rovers operated in a discrete simu- lation environment and used complementary sensors and actuators so as to maximize the global evaluation function |

| Title: | Emergent Specialization in Biologically Inspired Collective Behavior Systems |
| Abstract: | This paper introduces the Collective Neuro Evolu- tion (CONE) method and compares its efficacy for designing specialization with a conventional Neuro-Evolution (NE) method. Specialization was defined at both the individual agent and at the agent group level. The CONE method was tested comparatively with the conventional NE method in an extension of the multi- rover task domain where specialization exhibited at both the individual and group level is known to benefit task performance. In the multi-rover domain the task was for many agents (rovers) to maximize the detection and evaluation of points of interest in a simulated environment and to communicate gathered information to a base station. The goal of the rover group was to maximize a global evaluation function that measured per- formance (fitness) of the group. Results indicate that the CONE method was appropriate for facilitating specialization at both the individual and agent group levels where as the conventional NE method succeeded only in facilitating individual specialization. As a consequence of emergent specialization derived at both the individual and group levels rover groups evolved by the CONE method were able to achieve a significantly higher task performance comparative to groups evolved by the conventional NE method. |

| Title: | Emergent Specialization in the Extended Multi-Rover Problem |
| Abstract: | Specialization is observable in many complex adaptive systems and is thought by many to be a fundamental mechanism for achieving optimal efficiency within organizations operating within complex adaptive systems. This chapter presents a survey and critique of collective behavior systems designed using biologically inspired principles where specialization that emerges as a result of system dynamics and is used problem solver or means to increase task performance. The chapter presents an argument for developing design methodologies and principles that facilitate emergent specialization in collective behavior systems. Open problems of current research and future research directions are highlighted for the purpose of encouraging the development of such emergent specialization design methodologies. |

| Abstract: | In this paper we seek an answer to the following question: it possible and rewarding to self-adapt parameters regarding selection population size in an evolutionary algorithm? The motivation comes the observation that the ma jority of the existing EC literature is with (self-)adaptation of variation operators while there are that (self-)adapting selection operators or the population size be equally or even more rewarding. We approach the question in an manner. We design and execute experiments for comparing performance increase of a benchmark EA when augmented with self- control of parameters concerning selection and population size isolation and in combination. With the necessary caveats regarding test suite and the particular mechanisms used we observe that self- |

Collective Representational Content for Shared Extended Mind

| Title: | Collective Representational Content for Shared Extended Mind |
| Abstract: | Some types of species exploit the external environment to support their cognitive processes in the sense of patterns created in the environment that function as external mental states and serve as an extension to their mind. In the case of social species the creation and exploitation of such patterns can be shared thus obtaining a form of shared mind or collective intelligence. This paper explores this shared extended mind principle for social species in more detail. The focus is on the notion of representational content in such cases. Proposals are put forward and formalised to define collective representational content for such shared external mental states. Two case studies in domains in which shared extended mind plays an important role are used as illustration. The first case study addresses the domain of social ant behaviour. The second case study addresses the domain of human communication via the environment. For both cases simulations are described representation relations are specified and are verified against the simulated traces. |

Emergence of Altruism as a Result of Cognitive Capabilities Involving Trust and Intertemporal Decision Making

| Title: | Emergence of Altruism as a Result of Cognitive Capabilities Involving Trust and Intertemporal Decision Making |
| Abstract: | A basic assumption in the evolutionary explanatory framework is that an organism's behaviour serves its own interests to improve its own well-being and production of offspring. For the explanation of the development of altruistic behaviour from an evolutionary perspective one easily encounters a paradox; see e.g. [Sober and Wilson 1998 pp. 17-23]. As by definition altruistic behaviour is behaviour that is against one's own interests this paradox can be formulated as: 'an organism serves its interests by behaviour which is against its interests'. One way to solve this paradox is by widening the scope in the temporal dimension. Then the occurrences of the concept 'interest' in the paradox get different time points attached as follows: altruistic behaviour serves the organism's interests at a future time point by the organism's behaviour which is against its interests at the present time point. So the organism's present behaviour is seen as an investment to obtain future revenues for the organism itself. As long as the future revenues are at least as important for the organism as the present investment this may work out fine. It is this approach that is analysed further in this paper; see also [Dennett 2003 Chapter 7]. |

Formal Analysis within Philosophy of Mind by Computer Simulation

| Title: | Formal Analysis within Philosophy of Mind by Computer Simulation |
| Abstract: | Computer simulations can be useful tools to support philosophers in validating their theories especially when these theories concern phenomena showing nontrivial dynamics. Such theories are usually informal whilst for computer simulation a formally described model is needed. In this paper a methodology is proposed to gradually formalise philosophical theories in terms of logically formalised dynamic properties. One outcome of this process is an executable logic-based temporal specification which within a dedicated software environment can be used as a simulation model to perform simulations. This specification provides a logical formalisation at the lowest aggregation level of the basic mechanisms underlying a process. In addition dynamic properties at a higher aggregation level that may emerge from the mechanisms specified by the lower level properties can be specified. Software tools are available to support specification and to automatically check such higher level properties against the lower level properties and against generated simulation traces. As an illustration three case studies are discussed showing successful applications of the approach to formalise and analyse among others Clark's theory on extended mind Damasio's theory on core consciousness and Dennett's perspective on intertemporal decision making and altruism. |

| Title: | On the Dynamics of Communication and Cooperation in Artificial Societies |
| Abstract: | This paper compares two fundamental building blocks of complex interaction-based systems: communication and cooperation. We investigate the effectiveness of communication in an envi- ronment where the need for cooperation is scalable as well as the available resources. Several aspects of communication are considered: firstly we compare a centralised with a decentralised communication protocol; secondly we compare a population that always communicates with one where the entities can (evolutionary) learn to communicate. This work is part of a larger project whose main goal is to investigate the emergence of cooperation and communication in response of (scalable) environmental challenges. Our application context is an artificial society i.e. a sim- ulation of a societal system that was inspired by the classical SUGARSCAPE that embodies a bottom-up approach to investigate complex effects that do not necessarily have complex causes. |

| Abstract: | The naval domain is characterized by a dynamic environment. This requires constant adaptation of the organization choosing between a wide variety of options. The consequences of the different options are difficult to foresee and hence it is hard to judge which is best. This paper presents automated support for simulation visualization and validation of such adaptive multi-agent organisations. Generic simulation properties are specified using a formal modeling approach. Furthermore results of a realistic case study are presented and validated by means of properties obtained from naval experts. Finally a tool is introduced that enables an insightful visualization of the simulation results. |

| Abstract: | Some types of animals exploit patterns created in the environment as external mental states thus obtaining an extension of their mind. In the case of social animals the creation and exploitation of such patterns can be shared which supports a form of shared extended mind or collective intelligence. This paper explores this shared extended mind principle for social animals in more detail. The focus is on formal analysis and formalisation of the dynamic proper- ties of the processes involved both at the local level (the basic mechanisms) and the global level (the emerging properties of the whole) and their relation- ships. A case study in social ant behaviour in which shared extended mind plays an important role is used as illustration. For this case simulations are de- scribed based on specifications of local properties and global properties are specified and verified. |

In the case of social animals the creation and exploitation of such patterns can be shared which supports a form of shared extended mind or collective intelli- gence. This article explores this shared extended mind principle for social animals in more detail. The focus is on formal analysis and formalization of the dynamic properties of the processes involved both at the local level (the basic mechanisms) and the global level (the emerging properties of the whole) and their relationships. A case study in social ant behavior in which the shared extended mind plays an important role is used as an illustration. For this case simulations are described based on specifications of local properties and global properties are specified and verified. |

| Title: | Effects of Evolutionary and Lifetime Learning on Minds and Bodies in an Artifical Society |
| Abstract: | In this paper we study a population of indi- viduals in a simulated artificial environment. These in- dividuals have a ''body'' as well as a ''mind'' i.e. some of their features effect their ''physical'' properties like speed and strength while other features influence their ''mental'' preferences and choices in interacting with the environment and other agents. We compare two ap- proaches to adapting the minds of individuals. In ap- proach 1 the bodies and the minds develop through evo- lution while in appropach 2 only the bodies evolve and the minds are adapted by lifetime-learning. The results indicate that the evolutionary approach is able to sus- tain larger and more stable agent populations as well as maintain a higher degree of individual success compared to the lifetime learning approach. Furthermore quite unexpectedly the method used for mental development has a strong effect on the development of the physical features within the very same environment: The indi- viduals' bodies evolve to completely different segments of the physical feature space under the two regimes. |

| Title: | Assessing Quality of Evolved Agent Controllers for Collective Gathering |
| Abstract: | The research goal was to engineer an agent collective that most effec- tively accomplished a cooperative gathering task. The proper setting of agent con- troller parameters was vital for the finding of agent behavior that most effectively gathered a high quantity and quality of resources in an unknown virtual environ- ment. We tested the efficacy of evolutionary design of agent controller parameters via testing evolved parameters in a non-evolutionary control experiment. The effec- tiveness of evolutionary design for the given task was further supported by compar- ing evolved parameters with a quality space sampling methodology that explored the parameter space for regions that produced a high value gathered cooperatively for the agent collective. Results indicated that the evolutionary approach was able to find agent controller settings for accomplishing the task with a high level of per- formance. |

| Title: | Comparative Reproduction Schemes for Evolving Gathering Collectives |
| Abstract: | This research investigates an evolutionary approach to engineering agent collectives that accomplish tasks cooperatively. In general reproduction and selec- tion form the two cornerstones of evolution and in this paper we study various re- production schemes in an evolving population of agents. We classify reproduction schemes in temporal and spatial terms that is by distinguishing when and where agents reproduce. In terms of the temporal dimension we tested schemes where agents reproduce only at the end of their lifetime or multiple times during their life- time. In terms of the spatial dimension we distinguished locally restricted reproduc- tion (agents reproduce only with agents in adjacent positions) and panmictic repro- duction (when an agent can reproduce with any other in the environment). This clas- sification leads to four different reproduction schemes which we compare via their overall impact upon collective performance. Results using two completely different types of evolvable controllers (hand-coded or neural-net based) indicate that utiliz- ing single reproduction at the end of an agent's lifetime and locally restricted repro- duction afforded the agent collective a significantly higher level of performance in its cooperative task. |

| Title: | Comparison of Reproduction Schemes in an Artificial Society for Cooperative Gathering |
| Abstract: | This paper compares reproduction schemes for adaptive behavior in an artificial society where the collective task of the society is the gathering of resources in an artificial environment. The environ- ment is randomly distributed with varying quantities of different resource types where different re- source types yield different fitness rewards for agents that successfully gather them. Gathering of the more valuable resource types (those yielding higher fitness rewards) requires cooperative behav- ior of varying degrees (a certain number of agents working collectively). We compared reproduc- tion schemes over three dimensions. The first was a comparison of agents that could reproduce only at the end of their lifetimes (single reproduction at the end of the agent's lifetime) and agents that could reproduce several times during their lifetime (multiple reproduction during lifetime). The second was a comparison of agents that could reproduce only with agents in adjacent positions and agents that could reproduce with agents at any position in the environment. The third compared dif- ferent methods for deriving the number of offspring produced and the fitness share given to each offspring as well as stochastic variants of these methods. Results indicate that the single reproduc- tion at the end of the agent's lifetime scheme afforded the artificial society a higher level of per- formance in its collective task according to the evaluation criterion comparative to artificial socie- ties utilizing the multiple reproductions during lifetime reproduction scheme. |

| Title: | Evolving an Agent Collective for Cooperative Mine Sweeping |
| Abstract: | The research goal was to engineer agent collectives that most effectively accomplish a cooperative gathering task. In view of this we compared reproduction schemes for the artificial evolution of agent controller parameters for a cooperative minesweeping task. Agents utilized cooperative behavior to improve task performance in a simulated environment where different types of mines with different fitness rewards were randomly distributed. We compared the evolution of agent controller parameters with respect to temporal and spatial dimensions of agent reproduction schemes. The first dimension concerned agents reproducing only once at the end of their lifetime or multiple times during their lifetime. The second dimension concerned agents reproducing only with agents in adjacent positions (locally restricted) or with agents located anywhere else in the environment (panmictic). Results indicated that the single reproduction at the end of an agent's lifetime and the locally restricted reproduction schemes afforded the agent collective a higher level of performance in its cooperative gathering task. |

| Title: | Comparing Multicast and Newscast Communication in Evolving Agent Societies |
| Abstract: | This paper investigates the effects of two different communication protocols within an artificial society where communication and co- operation is necessary to survive. Communication in our system is not a hard-coded behavior rather it is an evolvable feature. The two protocols we consider differ significantly. Using the first ap- proach individuals multicast messages that can be received by any individual. In the second approach based on the so-called news- cast computing model individuals send a message to their list of ''friends'' only where this list is frequently updated. These pro- tocols are compared experimentally by their effects on population dynamics and the evolution of communicativeness. The results pro- vide new insights into the niche of newscast-based communication protocols: we identify two essential processes (information being spread and information loosing its value) and consider the ratio of the speeds of these processes as a basic indicator for communica- tion success. |

| Title: | Formal Analysis of Meeting Protocols |
| Abstract: | Organizations depend on regular meetings to carry out their everyday tasks. When carried out successfully meetings offer a common medium for participants to exchange ideas and make decisions. However many meetings suffer from unfocused discussions or irrelevant dialogues. Within Social Science sometimes general informal meeting guidelines are formulated. To study meetings in detail we first formalize general properties for meetings and a generic meeting protocol for the role interactions in meetings that is coherent with such guidelines. In the context of a case study an example meeting is simulated based in this protocol. The properties are formally verified in this trace. These properties are also verified formally against empirical data of a real meeting in the same context. A comparison of the two traces reveals that a real meeting is more robust in the sense that by exception violations of the protocol may occur and these exceptions are handled effectively without damaging the success of the meeting. Given this observation a more refined protocol is specified that includes exception-handling strategies. Based on this refined protocol a meeting is simulated that closely resembles the real meeting. |

| Title: | Understanding performance measurement and control in third party logistics |
| Abstract: | Each individual planning process starts with clear objectives. These objectives specify the goals for the planning process which is assigning tasks to resources at a certain point in time. Planning systems whether manual or computerized should utilize those objectives in their planning. In order to gain insight in the specific planning objectives for the Logistical Service Providers (LSPs) domain we study the Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) related to this field. Typically KPIs are used in a post- ante context: to evaluate the past performance of a company. We reason that KPIs could be utilized differently as well: if one knows what counts afterwards it would be logical to anticipate this in the planning phase. This paper thus focuses on the performance parameters and objectives that play a role in the logistical planning process. In order to gain insight in the factors that should play a role when designing a new software system for planning and control of LSP operations. In this paper we present an extensive literature survey we performed and introduce a framework that is capable of capturing the dynamics of competing KPIs while positioning them in the practical context of an LSP. We conclude with a first validation of the framework and a roadmap for our future work with the design of a software agent- based planning system for (road-) logistics as an intended final result. |

| Title: | Key Performance Indicators in Logistics Service Provision - a Literature Review and Framework |
| Abstract: | With the ever increasing focus on cost reduction product leadership and customer intimacy the need for Supply Chain Management practices rises across many industries. Over the last two decades Logistics Service Providers have become important players in many chains and industries. New challenges arise due to the emergence of technologies. Data and information can be found anywhere however to make the proper decisions we need to have an insight in how decisions should be made and what is important for the company and what not. In order to do so we sollicited the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) literature -focussing on the areas of general management supply chain management logistics service provision and warehousing. In our earlier work we proposed a KPI framework that we here revisit and validate in the Warehousing domain -- through the means of expert interviews. |

| Abstract: | Monitoring of relevant performance indicators can greatly contribute to the success of a logistics service provider. In practice however this is often done in an ad- hoc manner leaving huge potential for improvement through adequate IT support. This paper proposes an approach to build an agent-based information system with emphasis on the interaction between the operational and strategic goals of the company. We present an example of the applied approach for the context of schedule generation and selection. |

| Title: | Performance Measurement and Control and Logistics Service Providing |
| Abstract: | Output of a planning process is a set of assigned individual tasks to resources at a certain point in time. Initially a manual job however in the past decades information systems have largely overtaken this role especially in industries such as (road-) logistics. This paper focuses on the performance parameters and objectives that play a role in the planning process. In order to gain insight in the factors which play a role in designing new software systems for Logistical Service Providers (LSPs). Therefore we study the area of Key Performance Indicators (KPI). Typically KPIs are used in a post-ante context: to evaluate a company's past performance. We reason that KPIs should be utilized in the planning phase as well; thus ex-ante. The paper describes the extended literature survey that we performed and introduces a novel framework that captures the dynamics of competing KPIs by positioning them in the practical context of an LSP. This framework could be valuable input in the design of a future generation of information systems capable of incorporating the business dynamics of today's LSPs. |

| Title: | Distributed Ship Scheduling with Partially Known Time Windows |
| Abstract: | The construction of efficient and flexible routes and schedules in logistics is necessary to ensure the increasing need for the efficient operation of supply chains from supplier to end customer with respect to time and costs. The shipping industry has a monopoly in chains involving transportation of large vol- umes between countries within and between continents. As such automated support for ship planning is essential to provide the necessary efficiency and flexibility. This paper presents a solution approach to a ship planning problem with the following properties: 1) the available time windows for cargo tranship- ment are only partially known and 2) the planning problem is distributed among a number of planners. We introduce the approach by subsequently i) formulating the ship planning problem in a novel vehicle routing problem class (with partially known time windows) then ii) provide a generic solution approach for this problem class and finally iii) embedding the solution approach in a distributed planning situation. |

| Title: | Modelling Shared Extended Mind and Collective Representational Content |
| Abstract: | Some types of animals exploit the external environment to support their cognitive processes in the sense of patterns created in the environment that function as external mental states and serve as an extension to their mind. In the case of social animals the creation and exploitation of such patterns can be shared thus obtaining a form of shared mind or collective intelligence. This paper explores this shared extended mind principle for social animals in more detail. The focus is on the notion of representational content in such cases. Proposals are put forward and formalised to define collective representational content for such shared external mental states. A case study in social ant behaviour in which shared extended mind plays an important role is used as illustration. For this case simulations are described representation relations are specified and are verified against the simulated traces. |

| Abstract: | This paper reports on experiments with an artificial society simulation package. This work is part of a larger project whose main goal is to investigate the emergence of cooperation and communication in response of (scalable) environmental chal- lenges. The specific goals of the experiments reported here include 1) the study a number of extensions of the classical SugarScape model 2) to compare two radically different approaches to communication among the individuals of the population. Our results demonstrate that a number of the presented extensions should be taken up in future experiments in artificial societies and that the decentralised communication protocol has negative effects on the system behaviour. |

| Title: | Modelling the Organisation of Organisational Change |
| Abstract: | In a dynamic world organisations have to change often. To enable organisations to change certain structures and capabilities are needed. As all processes a change process has to be organised itself. In this paper it is shown how within a formal organisation modelling approach also organisation change processes can be modelled. A generic organisation model (covering both organisation structure and behaviour) for organisational change is presented and formally evaluated for a case study. This model takes into account different phases in a change process considered in Social Science literature such as unfreezing movement and refreezing. Moreover at the level of individuals the internal beliefs and their changes are incorporated in the model. In addition a distinction is made between automated and non-automated (more conscious) role behaviour. For the latter case an internal mental model for (reflective) reasoning about expected role behaviour is included in the organisation model. |

In decision the- ory models have been developed with which one is able to perform this elicitation. This paper enumerates some com- mon anomolies to existing decision theoretic prefer- ence elicitation models. We propose an alternative elicita- tion model that has been successfully implemented and used for investigating positive time preference; this is the phe- nomenon that people prefer to get things sooner rather than later. We present new results concerning this phe- nomenon regarding decisions in gain and loss situations over time. The contributions of this paper are (1) the pre- sentation of our novel preference elicitation model and (2) new results on the phenomenon of gain-loss asymme- try in intertemporal choice. |

| Title: | APPROACH: Decentralised Rotation Planning for Container Barges |
| Abstract: | This paper presents the engineering and development process of a software tool (APPROACH) that is designed for decentralised rotation planning for container barges in the port of Rotterdam. For domain analysis and requirements engineering for the tool a formal organisation dynamics modelling approach was adopted. We present the APPROACH tool demonstrating the added value of automation of rotation planning over traditional planning. The development trajectory of the tool demonstrates the benefits of the used formal modelling approach in a practical real- world setting resulting in a concrete software tool that can be put into work in the harbour. Preliminary analysis indicates that execution times of barge rotation in the harbour decreases when the tool is used. |

| Title: | The Theory and Practice of Intention Reconsideration |
| Abstract: | One of the key problems in the design of belief-desire-intention (BDI) agents is that of finding an appropriate policy for intention reconsideration. Crudely the idea is that at any given time an agent will have a number of intentions relating to states of affairs that the agent has committed to bring about. An agent chooses plans that are appropriate for bringing about these intentions; if a particular plan for a given intention fails then the agent will typically replan to find an alternative course of action for this intention. However a rational agent's intentions will not be static. From time-to-time it makes sense for such an agent to reconsider its intentions for example when the intention is doomed never to be realized or else when the agent would simply profit from adopting another more fruitful goal. This paper presents a detailed investigation of the properties of intention reconsideration. The work builds on the foundational work of Kinny and Georgeff who investigated the properties of various intention reconsideration strategies in environments that were to varying degrees dynamic i.e. subject to unanticipated change. The present paper broadly falls into two distinct parts. In the first part the authors extend work of Kinny and Georgeff by investigating the properties of intention reconsideration strategies in environments that are also to varying degrees (in)accessible and (non-)deterministic. They then investigate two different models of intention reconsideration. In the first model intention reconsideration is modelled as a process of discrete deliberation scheduling: intention reconsideration is modelled as an action that may be performed by an agent and so lends itself to analysis in terms of conventional decision theoretic models of optimal action. In the second intention reconsideration is modelled as a partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP): solving the POMDP means finding an optimal intention recon- sideration policy. |

| Title: | Comparing Communication Protocols in Evolving Agent Societies: Cell phones versus Shouting |
| Abstract: | This paper investigates the effects of two different communication systems within an artificial society where communication and cooperation is necessary to survive. Using the first approach individuals broadcast messages that can be received by any individual. In the second approach individuals send a message to their list of ''friends'' only where this list is frequently updated. This method is based on the so-called newscast computingmmodel which has proven its worth in large-scale networks. We execute numeruous simulations with artificial societies using both approaches and compare the results that support conclusions on the niche of newscast-based communication protocols. |

| Title: | Modelling the Dynamics of Organisational Change |
| Abstract: | For an information-agent-based system to support virtual (In- ternet-supported) organisations changes in environmental conditions often demand changes in organisational behaviour i.e. organisational changes. As organisational behaviour relates to organisational structure rethinking thestructure of an organisation as environmental conditions demand so renders such an organisation imperatively flexible and adaptive. This paper presents a formal modelling approach for such organisational dynamics. The contributions of the reported research are (1) a formal model as a basis for simulation (2) formal specifications of dynamic properties of organisa- tional behaviour at different aggregation levels (3) logical interlevel rela- tionships between these properties (4) a prototype implementation and (5) simulation and checking results. |

Intention Reconsideration

| Title: | Intention Reconsideration |
| Abstract: | Autonomous agents are systems capable of autonomous decision making in real- time environments. Computation is a valuable resource for such decision making and yet the amount of computation that an autonomous agent may carry out will be limited. It follows that an agent must be equipped with a mechanism that enables it to make the best possible use of the computational resources at its disposal. In so-called Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agents this decision mechanism known as the reconsideration policy manages when an agent reconsiders its currently adopted in- tentions. The BDI agent model recognises the primacy of beliefs desires and intentions in rational action based on the philosophy of practical reasoning. Intentions direct and constrain an agent's planning process and are as such a useful abstraction for control- ling the agent's reasoning. Although intentions persist they are not permanent and consequently an agent has to decide on occasion whether to adopt new intentions or to continue to act upon its current intentions. The main focus of our research has been to investigate how an agent reconsiders its intentions efficiently and effectively. We present two approaches to constructing intention reconsideration policies that are adaptable with respect to the environment in which the agent operates. These ap- proaches are rooted in traditional decision theory; the first is based on discrete delibera- tion scheduling and the second on partially observable Markov decision processes. We demonstrate empirically that these novel approaches increase an agent's effectiveness in domains with real world characteristics i.e. dynamic unpredictable and inaccessible |

| Abstract: | Autonomous agents are systems capable of autonomous decision making in real-time envi- ronments. Computation is a valuable resource for such decision making and yet the amount of computation that an autonomous agent may carry out will be limited. It follows that an agent must be equipped with a mechanism that enables it to make the best possible use of the computational resources at its disposal. In this paper we review three approaches to the control of computation in resource-bounded agents. In addition to a detailed description of each framework this paper compares and contrasts the approaches and lists the advantages and disadvantages of each. |

| Title: | On Partially Observable MDPs and BDI Models |
| Abstract: | Markov decision processes (pomdps) has been shown to be both powerful and versatile. However such approaches are computationally hard and from a design stance are not necessarily intuitive for conceptualising many problems. We pro- pose a novel method for solving pomdps which provides a designer with a more intuitive means of specifying pomdp planning problems. In particular we investi- gate the relationship between pomdp planning theory and belief-desire-intention (bdi) agent theory. The idea is to view a bdi agent as a specification of an pomdp problem. This view is to be supported by a correspondence between an pomdp problem and a bdi agent. In this paper we outline such a correspondence between pomdp and bdi by explaining how to specify one in terms of the other. Addition- ally we illustrate the significance of a correspondence by showing empirically that it yields satisfying results in complex domains. |

| Title: | Principles of Intention Reconsideration |
| Abstract: | We present a framework that enables a belief-desire-intention (BDI) agent to dynamically choose its intention reconsideration policy in order to perform optimally in accordance with the current state of the environment. Our framework integrates an abstract BDI agent architecture with the decision theoretic model for discrete delib- eration scheduling of Russell and Wefald. As intention reconsid- eration determines an agent's commitment to its plans this work increases the level of autonomy in agents as it pushes the choice of commitment level from design-time to run-time. This makes it possible for an agent to operate effectively in dynamic and open environments whose behaviour is not known at design time. Fol- lowing a precise formal definition of the framework we present an empirical analysis that evaluates the run-time policy in compari- son with design-time policies. We show that an agent utilising our framework outperforms agents with fixed policies. |

| Title: | An Empirical Study on GAs &Wuml;ithout Parameters& uml; |
| Abstract: | In this paper we implement GAs that have one or more parameters that adjusted during the run. In particular we use an existing self-adaptive mutation mechanism propose a new mechanism for self-adaptive crossover rates and an existing variable population size model. We compare the simple GA with featuring only one of the parameter adjusting mechanisms and with a GA that all three mechanisms - and is therefore almost parameterless. The results on a carefully designed test suite indicate the superiority of the GA and give a hint on the power of adapting the population size. |

Eliciting Utilities in Intertemporal Choice: Gain-Loss Asymmetry in Time Preferences
, 1998
| Author: | M.C. Schut |
| Title: | Eliciting Utilities in Intertemporal Choice: Gain-Loss Asymmetry in Time Preferences |
| Abstract: | Positive time preference is the label for the familiar phenomenon that people prefer to get things sooner rather than later. The standard normative economic model of time preference is the discounted utility model which assumes exponential time discounting at a constant rate. All attempts to measure individual discount rates have involved measuring discount rates for amounts rather that utilities. The distinction between discount rates for money and utility has important implications. In this paper a knowledge elicitation program is presented that can be used as a tool for measuring utilities for gains and loss situations in intertemporal choice. This paper describes a number of experiments using this program that examine discount rates for hypothetical losses and gains. |
