  3. Lorenzo Magnani, Nancy J. Nersessian, and Claudio Pizzi, editors. Logical and Computational Aspects of Model-Based Reasoning, volume 25 of Applied logic series. Kluwer, 2002.
    Keywords: model theory, honours reading.

    Abstract: "This volume is based on the papers that were presented at the International Conference `Model-Based Reasoning: Scientific Discovery, Technological Innovation, Values' (MBR'01), held at the Collegio Ghislieri, University of Pavia, Pavia, Italy, in May 2001. The previous volume Model-Based Reasoning in Scientific Discovery, edited by L. Magnani, N.J. Nersessian, and P. Thagard (Kluwer Academic/Plenum Publishers, New York, 1999; Chinese edition, China Science and Technology Press, Beijing, 2000), was based on the papers presented at the first `model-based reasoning' international conference, held at the same venue in December 1998. The presentations given at the Conference explore how scientific thinking uses models and exploratory reasoning to produce creative changes in theories and concepts. Some address the problem of model-based reasoning in ethics, especially pertaining to science and technology, and stress some aspects of model-based reasoning in technological innovation. The study of diagnostic, visual, spatial, analogical, and temporal reasoning has demonstrated that there are many ways of performing intelligent and creative reasoning that cannot be described with the help only of traditional notions of reasoning such as classical logic. Understanding the contribution of modeling practices to discovery and conceptual change in science requires expanding scientific reasoning to include complex forms of creative reasoning that are not always successful and can lead to incorrect solutions. The study of these heuristic ways of reasoning is situated at the crossroads of philosophy, artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, and logic; that is, at the heart of cognitive science. There are several key ingredients common to the various forms of model-based reasoning. The term `model' comprises both internal and external representations. The models are intended as interpretations of target physical systems, processes, phenomena, or situations. The models are retrieved or constructed on the basis of potentially satisfying salient constraints of the target domain. Moreover, in the modeling process, various forms of abstraction are used. Evaluation and adaptation take place in light of structural, causal, and/or functional constraints. Model simulation can be used to produce new states and enable evaluation of behaviors and other factors. The various contributions of the book are written by interdisciplinary researchers who are active in the area of creative reasoning in science and technology, and are logically and computationally oriented: the most recent results and achievements about the topics above are illustrated in detail in the papers.

Journal Articles and Chapters
  1. W. de Vries, F. S. de Boer, K. Hindriks, W. van der Hoek, and J. J. C. Meyer. A programming language for coordinating group actions. In From Theory to Practice in Multi-Agent Systems, volume 2296 of Lecture Notes in Artificial Intelligence, pages 313--321. 2002.
    Keywords: agent programming languages, multiagent coordination, graph theory, constraint satisfaction, honours reading.

    Abstract: "Coordination and cooperation are crucial notions in multi-agent systems. We provide a constraint programming language called GrAPL, with facilities for group communication, group formation and group collaboration. GrAPL includes three novel statements. Two of these enable groups of agents to communicate about possible constraints on a specific action they might do together. If the demands of the agents are compatible, the group reaches an agreement regarding future executions of the action discussed. The third statement is synchronised action execution. Groups of agents can perform an action together, as long as their constraints on the action are satisfied."

    Keywords: modal logic, honours reading.

    Abstract: "In order to capture the concept of common knowledge, various extensions of multi-modal epistemic logics, such as fixed-point ones and infinitary ones, have been proposed. Although we have now a good list of such proposed extensions, the relationships among them are still unclear. The purpose of this paper is to draw a map showing the relationships among them. In the propositional case, these extensions turn out to be all Kripke complete and can be comparable in a meaningful manner. F. Wolter showed that the predicate extension of the Halpern-Moses fixed-point type common knowledge logic is Kripke incomplete. However, if we go further to an infinitary extension, Kripke completeness would be recovered. Thus there is some gap in the predicate case. In drawing the map, we focus on what is happening around the gap in the predicate case. The map enables us to better understand the common knowledge logics as a whole. (24 References)."

    Note: Publisher: Taylor & Francis, UK.
    Keywords: sensor networks, simulation, honours reading, logistics.

    Abstract: "This paper addresses the issue of moving agent technology to the mainstream, looking from various perspectives at the mainstreaming process that can take place during a technology life cycle, radically moving its status from a supposedly good idea to an actual economic and industrial workhorse that lends itself useful in everyday life. While there is serious evidence that agent technology is approaching this critical point, it is by no means possible to tell whether agent technology will eventually be adopted on a global scale or not. However, looking at the various factors that can make the difference between acceptance and oblivion, a mainstreaming strategy can be set up. We claim that agent middleware has to play a fundamental role in this strategy, and we motivate our belief on the basis of general considerations and on our actual experience with the JADE agent platform.

  13. D. V. Pynadath and M. Tambe. The Communicative Multiagent Team Decision Problem: Analyzing Teamwork Theories and Models. Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, 16:389--423, 2002.
    Keywords: computational complexity, teamwork, Markov theory, graph theory, agent communication languagess, honours reading.

    Abstract: "Abstract: Despite the significant progress in multiagent teamwork, existing research does not address the optimality of its prescriptions nor the complexity of the teamwork problem. Without a characterization of the optimality-complexity tradeoffs, it is impossible to determine whether the assumptions and approximations made by a particular theory gain enough efficiency to justify the losses in overall performance. To provide a tool for use by multiagent researchers in evaluating this tradeoff, we present a unified framework, the COMmunicative Multiagent Team Decision Problem (COM-MTDP). The COM-MTDP model combines and extends existing multiagent theories, such as decentralized partially observable Markov decision processes and economic team theory. In addition to their generality of representation, COM-MTDPs also support the analysis of both the optimality of team performance and the computational complexity of the agents' decision problem. In analyzing complexity, we present a breakdown of the computational complexity of constructing optimal teams under various classes of problem domains, along the dimensions of observability and communication cost. In analyzing optimality, we exploit the COM-MTDP's ability to encode existing teamwork theories and models to encode two instantiations of joint intentions theory taken from the literature. Furthermore, the COM-MTDP model provides a basis for the development of novel team coordination algorithms. We derive a domain-independent criterion for optimal communication and provide a comparative analysis of the two joint intentions instantiations with respect to this optimal policy. We have implemented a reusable, domain-independent software package based on COM-MTDPs to analyze teamwork coordination strategies, and we demonstrate its use by encoding and evaluating the two joint intentions strategies within an example domain."

    Keywords: graph matching, honours reading, graph theory.

    Abstract: "The subgraph isomorphism problem, that of finding a copy of one graph in another, has proved to be intractable except when certain restrictions are placed on the inputs. In this paper, we introduce a new property for graphs (a generalization on bounded degree) and extend the known classes of inputs for which polynomial-time subgraph isomorphism algorithms are attainable. In particular, if the removal of any set of at most k vertices from an n-vertex graph results in connected components, we say that the graph is a -bounded fragmentation graph. We present a polynomial-time algorithm for finding a subgraph of H isomorphic to a graph G when G is a -bounded fragmentation graph and H has bounded treewidth; these results are extended to handle graphs of locally bounded treewidth (a generalization of treewidth) when G is a -bounded fragmentation graph and has constant diameter."

    Abstract: "Consumers and businesses have access to vast stores of information on the Internet, ranging from newspapers, shopping catalogs, restaurant guides, classified ads, jobs listings, dating services to discussion groups and e-mail. All this information is typically accessible only while users are in front of a computer at home or in an office. Wireless devices allow unprecedented access to information from any location at any time. The presentation of this information must be tailored to the constraints of mobile devices. Small screens, slower connections, high latency and limited input capabilities present new challenges. Agents that learn user’s preferences and select information for the user are a convenience when displaying information on a 19-inch desktop monitor accessed over a broadband connection; they are essential on a handheld wireless device. This paper summarizes commercially deployed systems using machine learning methods for personalizing mobile information delivery."
