Abstract:
La combinaison du traitement sémantique des connaissances (Semantic Processing of Knowledge) et de la modélisation des étapes de raisonnement (Modeling Steps of Reasoning), utilisés dans le domaine clinique, offrent des possibilités intéressantes, nécessaires aussi, pour l’élaboration des ontologies médicales, utiles à l'exercice de cette profession. Dans ce cadre, l'interrogation de banques de données médicales multiples, comme MEDLINE, PubMed… constitue un outil précieux mais insuffisant car elle ne permet pas d'acquérir des connaissances facilement utilisables lors d’une démarche clinique. En effet, l'abondance de citations inappropriées constitue du bruit et requiert un tri fastidieux, incompatible avec une pratique efficace de la médecine.Dans un processus itératif, l'objectif est de construire, de façon aussi automatisée possible, des bases de connaissances médicales réutilisables, fondées sur des ontologies et, dans cette thèse, nous développons une série d'outils d'acquisition de connaissances qui combinent des opérateurs d'analyse linguistique et de modélisation de la clinique, fondés sur une typologie des connaissances mises en œuvre, et sur une implémentation des différents modes de raisonnement employés. La connaissance ne se résume pas à des informations issues de bases de données ; elle s’organise grâce à des opérateurs cognitifs de raisonnement qui permettent de la rendre opérationnelle dans le contexte intéressant le praticien.Un système multi-agents d’aide à la décision clinique (SMAAD) permettra la coopération et l'intégration des différents modules entrant dans l'élaboration d'une ontologie médicale et les sources de données sont les banques médicales, comme MEDLINE, et des citations extraites par PubMed ; les concepts et le vocabulaire proviennent de l'Unified Medical Language System (UMLS).Concernant le champ des bases de connaissances produites, la recherche concerne l'ensemble de la démarche clinique : le diagnostic, le pronostic, le traitement, le suivi thérapeutique de différentes pathologies, dans un domaine médical donné.Différentes approches et travaux sont recensés, dans l’état de question, et divers paradigmes sont explorés : 1) l'Evidence Base Medicine (une médecine fondée sur des indices). Un indice peut se définir comme un signe lié à son mode de mise en œuvre ; 2) Le raisonnement à partir de cas (RàPC) se fonde sur l'analogie de situations cliniques déjà rencontrées ; 3) Différentes approches sémantiques permettent d'implémenter les ontologies.Sur l’ensemble, nous avons travaillé les aspects logiques liés aux opérateurs cognitifs de raisonnement utilisés et nous avons organisé la coopération et l'intégration des connaissances exploitées durant les différentes étapes du processus clinique (diagnostic, pronostic, traitement, suivi thérapeutique). Cette intégration s’appuie sur un SMAAD : système multi-agent d'aide à la décision
The combination of semantic processing of knowledge and modelling steps of reasoning employed in the clinical field offers exciting and necessary opportunities to develop ontologies relevant to the practice of medicine. In this context, multiple medical databases such as MEDLINE, PubMed are valuable tools but not sufficient because they cannot acquire the usable knowledge easily in a clinical approach. Indeed, abundance of inappropriate quotations constitutes the noise and requires a tedious sort incompatible with the practice of medicine.In an iterative process, the objective is to build an approach as automated as possible, the reusable medical knowledge bases is founded on an ontology of the concerned fields. In this thesis, the author will develop a series of tools for knowledge acquisition combining the linguistic analysis operators and clinical modelling based on the implemented knowledge typology and an implementation of different forms of employed reasoning. Knowledge is not limited to the information from data, but also and especially on the cognitive operators of reasoning for making them operational in the context relevant to the practitioner.A multi-agent system enables the integration and cooperation of the various modules used in the development of a medical ontology.The data sources are from medical databases such as MEDLINE, the citations retrieved by PubMed, and the concepts and vocabulary from the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS).Regarding the scope of produced knowledge bases, the research concerns the entire clinical process: diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and therapeutic monitoring of various diseases in a given medical field.It is essential to identify the different approaches and the works already done.Different paradigms will be explored: 1) Evidence Based Medicine. An index can be defined as a sign related to its mode of implementation; 2) Case-based reasoning, which based on the analogy of clinical situations already encountered; 3) The different semantic approaches which are used to implement ontologies.On the whole, we worked on logical aspects related to cognitive operators of used reasoning, and we organized the cooperation and integration of exploited knowledge during the various stages of the clinical process (diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, therapeutic monitoring). This integration is based on a SMAAD: multi-agent system for decision support

Abstract:
La dispersion spatiale de l'habitat et des activités de ces dernières décennies a fortement contribué à un allongement des distances et des temps de trajets domicile-travail. Cela a pour conséquence un accroissement de l'utilisation des voitures particulières, notamment au sein et aux abords des grandes agglomérations. Afin de réduire les impacts dus à l'augmentation du trafic routier, des services de covoiturage, où des usagers ayant la même destination se regroupent en équipage pour se déplacer, ont été mis en place partout dans le monde. Nous présentons ici nos travaux sur le problème de covoiturage régulier. Dans cette thèse, le problème de covoiturage régulier a été modélisé et plusieurs métaheuristiques de résolution ont été implémentées, testées et comparées. La thèse est organisée de la façon suivante: tout d'abord, nous commençons par présenter la définition et la description du problème ainsi que le modèle mathématique associé. Ensuite, plusieurs métaheuristiques pour résoudre le problème sont présentées. Ces approches sont au nombre de quatre: un algorithme de recherche locale à voisinage variable, un algorithme à base de colonies de fourmis, un algorithme génétique guidée et un système multi-agents génétiques auto-adaptatif. Des expériences ont été menées pour démontrer l'efficacité de nos approches. Nous continuons ensuite avec la présentation et la résolution d'une extension du problème de covoiturage occasionel comportant plusieurs destinations. Pour terminer, une plate-forme de test et d'analyse pour évaluer nos approches et une plate-forme de covoiturage sont présentées dans l'annexe
Nowadays, the increased human mobility combined with high use of private cars increases the load on environment and raises issues about quality of life. The extensive use of private cars lends to high levels of air pollution, parking problem, traffic congestion and low transfer velocity. In order to ease these shortcomings, the car pooling program, where sets of car owners having the same travel destination share their vehicles, has emerged all around the world. We present here our research on the long-term car pooling problem. In this thesis, the long-term car pooling problem is modeled and metaheuristics for solving the problem are investigated. The thesis is organized as follows. First, the definition and description of the problem as well as its mathematical model are introduced. Then, several metaheuristics to effectively and efficiently solve the problem are presented. These approaches include a Variable Neighborhood Search Algorithm, a Clustering Ant Colony Algorithm, a Guided Genetic Algorithm and a Multi-agent Self-adaptive Genetic Algorithm. Experiments have been conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of these approaches on solving the long-term car pooling problem. Afterwards, we extend our research to a multi-destination daily car pooling problem, which is introduced in detail manner along with its resolution method. At last, an algorithm test and analysis platform for evaluating the algorithms and a car pooling platform are presented in the appendix

Abstract:
A Multiagent Framework for a Diagnostic and Prognostic System Irtaza Barlas 124 Pages Directed By: Dr. George Vactsevanos The shortcomings of the current diagnostic and prognostic systems stem from the limitations of their frameworks. The framework is typically designed on the passive, open loop, static, and isolated notions of diagnostics, in that the framework does not observe its diagnostic results (open-looped), hence can not improve its performance (static). Its passivity is attributed to the fact that an external event triggers the diagnostic or prognostic action. There is also no effort in place to team-up the diagnostic systems for a collective learning, hence the implementation is isolated. In this research we extend the current approaches of the design and implementation of diagnostic and prognostic systems by presenting a framework based upon Multiagent systems. This research created novel architectures by providing such unique features to the framework, as learning, reasoning, and coordination. As the primary focus of the research the concept of Case-Based Reasoning was exploited to reason in the temporal domain to generate better prognosis, and improve the accuracy of detection as well as prediction. It was shown that the dynamic behavior of the intelligent agent helps it to learn over time, resulting in improved performance. An analysis is presented to show that a coordinated effort to diagnose also makes sense in uncertain situations when there are certain number of systems attempting to communicate certain number of failures, since there can be high probability of finding a shareable experience.

Abstract:
From a media industries, fan studies, and emerging socio-cultural public relations perspective, this project pulls back the Hollywood curtain to explore two questions: 1) How do TV public relations practitioners and key tastemaker/gatekeeper media define, create, build, and maintain fandom?; and 2) How do they make meaning of fandom and their agency/role in fan creation from their position of industrial producers, cultural intermediaries, members of the audience, and as fans themselves? This project brings five influential, working public relations and media professionals into a conversation about two case studies from the 2010-2011 television season – broadcast network CBS’ Hawaii Five-0 and basic cable network AMC’s The Walking Dead. Each of these shows speaks to fandom in particular ways and are representative of the industry’s current approaches in luring specific audiences to TV. This study shows that the relationship between entertainment publicists and media is dynamic, intertwined, complex, and historically hidden.

Abstract:
Company Purtech in Dals-Ed manufactures molded polyurethane (PUR). Examples of products that include polyurethane are car seats. Robots are used to fill the molds with PUR and to apply the release agent (wax) in the empty molds. Turning from online programming into a graphical offline programming of release agent spraying robots is going to simplify the process by: Applying less of release agent to avoid polluting environment, to produce an easier removal of moulds, for the sake of homogeneous moulds and for economical saving in the cost of release agent Adaption of spraying paths to variation in production speed. Programming of complex spraying trajectories to deal with sharp geometrical subsurface Decreasing onsite programming time (when program a new workpiece or modify an old one); so that robots would be free for production. While turning into offline programming brought the challenges of: Impact of variation in the production speed Lack of 3D models of workcell’s equipments Robot joint configuration when paths and robtargets are in move. Physical Joint limits, Singularities & Reach limits Collisions within the cell space. At the end, the following objectives are successfully met: Adaption of spraying programs to variation in production speed by developing and embedding a method in those programs. Graphical offline generation of spraying trajectories and optimization of those trajectories to the Purtech condition of spraying allowed time for each carrier. Simulation of release agent spraying process; and producing of a well structured RAPID program that reflect the simulated process.

As the amount of time spent inside vehicles increases, there is an ever more pressing need for safe interfaces that support drivers while they are multi-tasking. We present an Affective Intelligent Driving Agent (AIDA), a sociable robot designed to sit at the dashboard of a vehicle and behave as a friendly assistant. This highly expressive robot was designed to receive signals from the vehicle and use an Android phone as its face and main computational unit to manage the information that must be delivered to the driver. AIDA communicates with the driver through speech, imitating the interaction model that exists between a driver and another passenger. This research platform explores the possibility of using a sociable robot as an interface to connect driver and car, creating a stronger bond between them.

Abstract:
Trots att vetskapen om klimatförändringar är utbredd bland människor, verkar individer sällan fundera över att deras egna handlingar bidrar till klimatförändringar när de väljer hur de ska transportera sig, detta märks ¨tydligt när det kommer till det utbredda användandet av bil. För att minska andelen ”onödig” bilism drivs arbeten, inom Malmö stad, med fokus på information, kommunikation och kampanjer som ämnar öka andelen gång-, cykel- och kollektivtrafikresenärer. Detta arbete kan sammanfattas med ett ord: beteendepåverkan. Målet med beteendeförändringar är en del i arbetet mot att göra Malmö till en mer attraktiv och hållbar stad. Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur förändringsagenter på kommunal nivå i Malmö uppfattar sitt yrke och sin yrkesroll, vilket innefattar hur de uppfattar de ramar inom vilka de arbetar, hur de uppfattar kompetens, vilken uppfattning de har av framgång i arbetet samt hur framgång kan och bör mätas. Det empiriska materialet i denna studie är en kvalitativ analys av sex intervjuer med förändringsagenter på Trafikmiljöenheten inom Malmö Stad. Resultatet visar att de intervjuade förändringsagenterna ser både möjligheter och hinder med att jobba inom offentlig sektor. Fördelarna menar de, är att de känner en viss frihet då de inte skall ”sälja en produkt”, att de har möjlighet att påverka hur arbetet skall genomföras och att de har möjlighet att komma med egna idéer. Nackdelarna är att det professionella spelrummet i hög grad är beroende av det politiska spelrummet, där det finns en spänning mellan att jobba långsiktigt samtidigt som effekter på kort sikt skall kunna presenteras. Det är viktigt för förändringsagenter att ha social och interpersonell kompetens, snarare än teknisk och praktisk kompetens för att göra ett bra arbete. Intervjupersonerna uppfattar att det skett en allmän förändring av den allmänna attityden till miljö- och trafikfrågor de senaste 10 till 15 åren, vilket har gjort det lättare för förändringsagenterna att nå ut med sina budskap.
Although knowledge about the complex of problems with climate change is widespread, individuals often do not consider their own actions as contributors to climate change when they make their own choice of how to transport themselves, especially with the widespread use of cars. To reduce unnecessary car use, work is taking place at the public sector level in the city of Malmö. Through information, communication and campaigns, the city aims to raise the amount of pedestrians, cyclists and public transport users; this job can be summarized as: behavioral change. This job is part of the aim to make Malmö a more attractive and more sustainable city. The purpose of this study is to investigate how agents of change at the public sector level understand their profession and their professional role. This involves how they understand the boundaries in which they can operate, their understanding of competencies, how they understand success in their work, and how success can be and should be measured. The study took place through a qualitative study in the form of interviews where six agents of change at the Trafikmiljöenheten in Malmö Stad make up the empirical population for the study. The results show that the interviewed agents of change see opportunities and hindrances with working in the public sector. The advantages are that they feel a level of freedom, as they are not a company aiming to sell a product and that they feel they have the opportunity to affect how the work should go about through the opportunity to bring forward their own ideas. The disadvantages are the political arena that they are a part of, where the policies of the ruling politicians form the boundaries in which the agents of change can perform their work. There is tension between working with effects that only become evident in the long-term and the demands of showing short- term effects. The agents of change say that competencies of social and interpersonal character rather than technical and practical competencies are important for doing a good job. The interviewees outlined that the general attitude towards environmental questions and choice of transport modes has changed over the past 10-15 years which makes it easier for the agents of change to reach out with their messages.

Full text
Abstract:
Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most important cereal crops grown in the world. It has great importance because it constitutes a major source of carbohydrate for more than one third of the world’s population (Budak et al., 2013). In the last three decades, drought conditions are becoming more widespread in wheat production areas including Europe, Australia and Asia, and it is considered a major cause of reduced wheat growth and productivity in most developing countries with semi-arid climates. Drought constitutes the most important threat for wheat production in Iraq and especially for the Kurdistan Regional Governate owing to the limited source of water during at least some part of the growing period. Because wheat is considered a staple food and has economic importance for the Kurdistan Regional Government research is needed to determine the production capacity of Iraqi wheat varieties under drought stress and the potential for the maximization of the drought tolerance response. The soil moisture holding capacity of the intended growing medium was measured gravimetrically in pots with and without wheat plants and correlated with the soil capacitance measured using a TDR Theta Probe (Delta-T Devices). This was used to determine the available water content of the soil (AWC) and to control and manage the watering regimes during drought studies. The results of a study of the response of different cultivars of Iraqi wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) to watering regimes of 70% and 50% showed that drought stress had a significant effect on the biomass and yield traits especially tiller number and stem bundle weight compared to normal conditions. The highest significant difference was observed for cv. Tamooz 2 in comparison to Adana 99, but there was a little difference between cvs. Rizgary and Sham 6. The effect of the exogenous application of salicylic acid (SA) and molybdenum (Mo) on drought tolerance of cvs. Tamooz 2 and Adana 99, showed that Tamooz 2 had higher values for growth characteristics and higher yield potential when sprayed with a lower concentration of SA (1.44 mM) under well-watered conditions in comparison with Adana 99. The effect of spraying variety Tamooz 2 with SA at different growth stages indicated that biomass production and yield components (the number of spikes/pot, grain dry weight and average 1000 grain dry weight) significantly increased at both stem+flower as well as leaf+stem+flower sprayings for plants subjected to drought. Also, SA treatments at stem extension and flowering had a positive effect on the up-regulation of the drought response gene CBF/DREB under drought stress conditions. These findings indicate that agronomic treatments with exogenous applications of salicylic acid and molybdenum could help to reduce the effects of drought in the field.

Abstract:
In Multi-Agenten-Systemen (MAS) kooperieren und konkurrieren Agenten um ihre jeweiligen Ziele zu erreichen. Für optimierte Agenten-Interaktionen sind Kenntnisse über die aktuellen und zukünftigen Handlungen anderer Agenten (Interaktionsparter, IP) hilfreich. Bei der Ermittlung und Nutzung solcher Kenntnisse kommt dem automatischen Erkennen und Verstehen sowie der Vorhersage von Verhalten der IP auf Basis von Beobachtungen besondere Bedeutung zu. Die Dissertation beschäftigt sich mit der automatischen Bestimmung und Vorhersage von Verhalten der IP durch einen Modellierenden Agenten (MA). Der MA generiert fallbasierte, adaptive Verhaltens-Modelle seiner IP und verwendet diese zur Vorhersage ihrer Verhalten. Als Anwendungsszenario wird mit dem virtuellen Fußballspiel des RoboCup ein komplexes und populäres MAS betrachtet. Der Hauptbeitrag dieser Arbeit besteht in der Ausarbeitung, Realisierung und Evaluierung eines Ansatzes zur automatischen Verhaltens-Modellierung für ein komplexes Multi-Agenten-System.
In multi-agent-systems agents cooperate and compete to reach their personal goals. For optimized agent interactions it is helpful for an agent to have knowledge about the current and future behavior of other agents. Ideally the recognition and prediction of behavior should be done automatically. This work addresses a way of automatically classifying and an attempt at predicting the behavior of a team of agents, based on external observation only. A set of conditions is used to distinguish behaviors and to partition the resulting behavior space. From observed behavior, team specific behavior models are then generated using Case Based Reasoning. These models, which are derived from a number of virtual soccer games (RoboCup), are used to predict the behavior of a team during a new game. The main contribution of this work is the design, realization and evaluation of an automatic behavior modeling approach for complex multi-agent systems.

Abstract:
The Car Racing competition platform is used for evaluating different car control solutions under competitive conditions [1]. These competitions are organized as part of the IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC) and Computational Intelligence and Games Sym-posium (CIG). The goal is to learn and develop a controller for a car in the TORCS open source racing game [2]. Oussama Khatib [3] (1986) introduced Artificial potential fields (APFs) for the first time while looking for new ways to avoid obstacles for manipulators and mobile robots in real time. In car racing games a novel combination of artificial potential fields as the major control paradigm for car controls in a multi-agent system is being used to coordinate control interests in different scenarios [1]. Here we extend the work of Uusitalo and Stefan J. Johansson by introducing effective collision detection, overtaking maneuvers, run time evaluation and detailed analysis of the track using the concept of multi-agent artificial potential fields MAPFs. The results of our extended car controller in terms of lap time, number of damages and position in the race is improved.
We have concluded by implementing a controller that make use of multi agent based artificial potential field approach to achieve the tricky and complex task of collision detection and overtaking while driving in a car racing game with different other controllers as opponents. We exploited the advantages of APFs to the best of our knowledge using laws of physics and discrete mathematics in order to achieve successful overtaking behavior and overcome its drawbacks as being very complex to implement and high memory requirements for time critical applications e.g. car racing games (Section 3.1, RQ1). Dynamic objects in a fast changing environment like a car racing game are likely to collide more often with each other, thus resulting in higher number of damages. Using APFs instead of traditionally used collision avoidance techniques resulted in less number of damages during the race, thus minimizing the lap’s time which in turn contribute to better position in the race as shown in experiment 3 (Section 3.1, RQ2 and Section 6.6). Overtaking maneuvers are complex and tricky and is the major cause of collision among cars both in real life as well as in car racing games, thus the criteria to measure the performance regarding overtaking behavior of different controllers in the race is based on number of damages taken during the race. The comparison between the participating controllers in terms of damages taken during various rounds of the race is analyzed in experiment 3 (Section 3.1, RQ3 and Section 6.6). The results of the quick race along with opponents shows good results on three tracks while having bad performance on the remaining other track. Our controller got 1st position on the CG track 2 while kept 2nd position on CS Speed way 1 and Alpine 1. It had worse performance on wheel 2 which needs to be optimized in the future for better results on this track and other similar complex and tricky tracks.
