These applications can be used to increase productivity, better use existing bandwidth, and improve present and future software application programs. By using existing established methods, and adding a layer of intelligence, software agents can add problem solving abilities to an application program.

PROGRAMA DE EXCELENCIA ACADEMICA
Chatbots são programas de computador que interagem com usuários utilizando linguagem natural. Desde sua origem, a tecnologia avançou significantemente e aplicações baseadas na nuvem de grandes empresas permitiram que desenvolvedores criassem chatbots inteligentes e eficientes. No entanto, não há muitas abordagens de desenvolvimento aos principais módulos de um chatbot que são flexíveis o suficiente para permitir a criação de chatbots diferentes para cada domínio, mantendo um robusto controle de diálogo na aplicação. Existem trabalhos que tentam desenvolver uma abordagem mais flexível, cada um com suas vantagens e desvantagens. Uma das vantagens mais notáveis é o uso de sistemas multiagentes para distribuir e realizar tarefas feitas por chatbots. Nesse contexto, este trabalho propõe um framework geral e flexível baseado em sistemas multiagentes para construir chatbots em um domínio escolhido pelo desenvolvedor, com controle de diálogo na aplicação. Esta solução usa uma adaptação da abordagem de estado da informação, e agentes de software, para gestão do diálogo. Para validar a arquitetura proposta, um cenário de uso com 4 chatbots de prova de conceito são analisados e discutidos.
Chatbots are computer programs that interact with users using natural language. Since its inception, the technology has advanced greatly and cloud-based platforms from big companies allow developers to create intelligent and efficient chatbots. However, there are not many development approaches to the main modules of a chatbot that are flexible enough to allow the creation of different chatbots for each domain, while maintaining a robust dialogue control in the application. There have been some works that try to develop a more flexible approach, each of them with their own advantages and disadvantages. One of the most notable advantages is the use of multi-agent systems to distribute and perform the tasks performed by the chatbot. In this context, this work proposes a general and flexible architecture based on multi-agent systems for building chatbots in any domain chosen by the developer, with dialogue control in the application. This architecture uses an adaptation of the information state approach, also using software agents, to perform dialogue management. To validate the proposed architecture, an user scenario involving the implementation of 4 proof of concept chatbots is analyzed discussed.

Full textThe current increase in instrumentation of oil production facilities leads to a higher availability of real-time sensor data. This is an enabler for better control and optimisation of the production, but current computer systems do not necessarily provide enough operator support for handling and utilising this information. It is believed that agent technology may be of use in this scenario, and the goal of this Master's thesis is to implement a proof-of-concept which demonstrates the suitability of such solutions in this domain. The agent system is developed using the Prometheus methodology for the design and the JACK Intelligent Agents framework for the implementation. A regular Java program which simulates the running of a very simplified oil field is also developed. The simulator provides the environment in which the agent system is put to the test. The agents' objective is to maximise the oil production while keeping the system within its envelope. Their performance is compared with results obtained by a human operator working with the same goal in the same environment. The metrics we use are the number of critical situations which occur, their duration, and the total amount of oil produced. The results indicate that the agents react faster to changes in the environment and therefore manage to reduce the amount and duration of critical situations, as well as producing more oil. This suggests a possibility of introducing an agent system to deal with some aspects of the production system control. This may contribute to a reduction of the information load on the operator, giving him/her more time to concentrate on situations which the agents are not able (or not allowed) to handle on their own.

Full textElectronic commerce (EC) and software agents are two of the hottest fields of research in information science. As the Internet is rapidly becomes a popular marketplace for consumers and sellers of goods and services, combining these two research areas offers lucrative opportunities both for businesses wishing to conduct transactions over the World Wide Web (WWW) and for developers of tools to facilitate this trend. The focus in this chapter will be on software agents specifically designed for electronic commerce activities. We will briefly describe the history of agent research in general, defining characteristics of agents, and will touch on the different types of agents. Following this introduction we will describe the learning and action mechanisms that make it possible for agents to perform tasks. Finally, we will describe the issues associated with the deployment of electronic commerce agents (ECAs).

Full textEls agents mòbils són idonis per a entorns distribuïts i heterogenis. El treball presentat en aquesta tesi està motivat per a aquest fet i comprèn quatre objectius per a millorar, en aquest ordre, la interoperabilitat, l'eficiència i la seguretat dels agents mòbils en el context dels estàndards definits per l'organització IEEE-FIPA. El primer objectiu és el disseny d'una especificació de mobilitat flexible. El segon objectiu és la proposta de mecanismes d'interoperabilitat, combinats amb l'especificació anterior, per a l'execució i mobilitat d'agents en localitzacions on no se suporten els mateixos tipus de plataformes d'agents, llenguatges de programació i arquitectures subjacents. El tercer objectiu és la proposta de mètodes per a millorar l'eficiència de la mobilitat i interoperabilitat dels agents. I, finalment, el darrer objectiu és el disseny de protocols per a tractar alguns problemes de seguretat concrets dels agents mòbils.
Mobile agents are autonomous software entities that have the ability to stop and resume their execution in different network locations to accomplish a set of tasks. Despite their apparent simplicity, the fact of sharing a code in different places, in most cases heterogeneous, arises a set of issues which are far from have a simple solution. The proof is that after several years of efforts, a wide-scale deployment of mobile agents has not become a reality. In our opinion the main reasons which have hindered the adoption of mobile agents are: security, interoperability, and efficiency. Security may impose strong restrictions to the use of mobile agents. Nevertheless, enough research to satisfy the most common applications has been done in this field. Interoperability is absolutely indispensable to guarantee that different types of agents can run in different places and exchange information. And efficiency is a non functional requisite which favours the adoption of the technology.
The suitability of mobile agents for distributed and heterogeneous environments is unique. The work presented in this thesis is motivated by this fact and comprises four objectives to improve, in this order, the interoperability, efficiency, and security of mobile agents in the context of the IEEE-FIPA standards. The first objective is the design of a flexible agent mobility specification. The second objective is the proposal of interoperability mechanisms to move and execute agents in several locations supporting different agent middlewares, programming languages, and underlying architectures taking advantage of the previous mobility specification. The third objective is the proposal of methods to improve the efficiency of the agent mobility and interoperability. And finally, the last objective is the design of some protocols to deal with specific security issues of mobile agents.
