“…Although our implementation takes advantage of the JADE platform and its supporting agents, such as the directory facilitator (DF), agent management service (AMS), and agent communication center (ACC), the architecture of the application agents is based on the CIRAgent model (Ghenniwa 1996). Java features, such as portability, dynamic loading, multithreading, and synchronization support make it appropriate to implement the inherent complexity and concurrency in an eMarketplace.…”

“…Another interdependency that may exist is when an entity attempts to acquire specific knowledge or data that is beyond its capability, but it can be achieved with the help of another entity. The solution to this interdependency problem is known as coordination (Ghenniwa 1996). Coordination between entities is a class of solutions that provides structure and mechanism to the system to deal with the interdependency problem.…”

“…Mechanism is a composition of decision points coordinated control and interaction devices directed to resolve problems associated with interdependencies. Cooperation, on the other hand, is a model for the interaction behaviour and is defined as the characteristic of entities having the will to share their capabilities with other entities on trading knowledge as well as on achieving their goals, whenever it is possible and beneficial (Ghenniwa 1996).…”

Given such an open environment, maintaining the privacy of organizations becomes a critical challenge. We believe the electronic marketplace (eMarketplace) is a promising architecture model for achieving cooperation between organizations. This is because of the nature of the market, where each entity selfishly attempts to achieve its own goals. The primary objective of this work is to model cooperation between different entities in the eMarketplace where the entities' privacy requirement is inherited. The proposed architecture, the eMarketplace, exists as a collection of software agents in the cooperative distributed systems. It enables and supports scheduling services between market participants. These services take into consideration any privacy desires that may be required from various participants in an open, dynamic, and heterogeneous environment.

In our previous work, we proposed a potential field-based hybrid path planning scheme for robot navigation that achieves complete coverage in various tasks. This paper is an extension of this work producing a multiagent framework, Collaborator, that integrates a high-level negotiation-based task allocation protocol with a low-level path planning method taking into consideration several real-world robot limitations such as nonholonomic constraints. Specifically, the proposed framework focuses on a class of complex motion planning problems in which robots need to cover the whole workspace, coordinate the accomplishment of a task, and dynamically change their roles to best fit the task. Applications in this class of problems include bomb detection and removal as well as rescuing of survivors from accidents or disasters. We have tested the framework in simulations of several tasks and have shown that Collaborator can satisfy nonholonomic constraints, cooperatively accomplish given tasks in an initially unknown dynamic environment while avoiding collision with other team members. Finally we prove that the proposed control laws are stable using the Lyapunov stability theory.

This paper proposes an agent-based approach for real-time collaborative monitoring and maintenance of equipments and machines. The proposed approach automates the maintenance management process by utilizing intelligent softvvare agents. The maintenance schedules are achieved by automated real time negotiation among software agents representing geographically distributed field engineers and a broker. The paper presents a detailed system design and a prototype implementation of the collaborative monitoring and maintenance system which can be used by maintenance managers in m anufacturing industry a s a tool t o improve the ef3ciency and quality of maintenance scheduling. Test results show that the proposed approach has potential for automating the maintenance management process in manufacturing environments.
