Most research on intelligent agents centers on the agent and not on the user. We look at the origins of agent-centric research for slot-filling, gaming and chatbot agents. We then argue that it is important to concentrate more on the user.…
The current trend in optical networks is to open the entire wholesale market to competition. As a result, we will see, instead of a single big market player, optical transport networks competing with each other to attract customer demand.…
We investigate the problem of optimally observing a finite set of targets using a mobile agent over an infinite time horizon. The agent is tasked to move in a network-constrained structure to gather information so as to minimize the…
In a conventional taxi booking system, all taxi operations are mostly done by a decision made by drivers which is hard to implement in unmanned vehicles. To address this challenge, we introduce a taxi booking system which assists autonomous…
We consider a service system where agents (or, servers) are invited on-demand. Customers arrive as a Poisson process and join a customer queue. Customer service times are i.i.d. exponential. Agents' behavior is random in two respects.…
Current validation methods often rely on recorded data and basic functional checks, which may not be sufficient to encompass the scenarios an autonomous vehicle might encounter. In addition, there is a growing need for complex scenarios…
Dialogue agents that support human users in solving complex tasks have received much attention recently. Many such tasks are NP-hard optimization problems that require careful collaborative exploration of the solution space. We introduce a…
This paper presents a hybrid control framework for the motion planning of a multi-agent system including N robotic agents and M objects, under high level goals. In particular, we design control protocols that allow the transition of the…
We investigate the problem of autonomous agents processing pieces of information that may be corrupted (tainted). Agents have the option of contacting a central database for a reliable check of the status of the message, but this procedure…
Large Intelligent Systems are so complex these days that an urgent need for designing such systems in best available way is evolving. Modeling is the useful technique to show a complex real world system into the form of abstraction, so that…
Current approaches to AI governance often fall short in anticipating a future where AI agents manage critical tasks, such as financial operations, administrative functions, and beyond. While cryptocurrencies could serve as the foundation…
To support the goal of allowing users to record and retrieve information, this paper describes an interactive note-taking system for pen-based computers with two distinctive features. First, it actively predicts what the user is going to…
In a multi-agent system, agents coordinate to achieve global tasks through local communications. Coordination usually requires sufficient information flow, which is usually depicted by the connectivity of the communication network. In a…
Intelligent agents offer a new and exciting way of understanding the world of work. Agent-Based Simulation (ABS), one way of using intelligent agents, carries great potential for progressing our understanding of management practices and how…
We present the Verse library with the aim of making hybrid system verification more usable for multi-agent scenarios. In Verse, decision making agents move in a map and interact with each other through sensors. The decision logic for each…
We present our view of what is necessary to build an engaging open-domain conversational agent: covering the qualities of such an agent, the pieces of the puzzle that have been built so far, and the gaping holes we have not filled yet. We…
AI business process applications automate high-stakes business decisions where there is an increasing demand to justify or explain the rationale behind algorithmic decisions. Business process applications have ordering or constraints on…
Interactive traffic simulation is crucial to autonomous driving systems by enabling testing for planners in a more scalable and safe way compared to real-world road testing. Existing approaches learn an agent model from large-scale driving…
GUI agents are rapidly becoming a new interaction to software, allowing people to navigate web, desktop and mobile rather than execute them click by click. Yet ``agent'' is described with radically different degrees of autonomy, obscuring…
Multi-threading allows agents to pursue a heterogeneous collection of tasks in an orderly manner. The view of multi-threading that emerges from thread algebra is applied to the case where a single agent, who may be human, maintains a…
