Agens Faber: Toward a Theory of Artefacts for MAS

Human intelligence has evolved along with the use of more and more sophisticated tools, allowing Homo Faber (from Homo Habilis to Homo Sapiens Sapiens) to cope with environment changes, as well as to adapt the environment to his needs. Analogously, in this seminal paper we introduce the notion of Agens Faber, conveying the idea that agent intelligence should not be considered as separated by the agent ability to perceive and affect the environment—and so, that agent intelligence is strictly related to the artefacts that enable, mediate and govern any agent (intelligent) activity.

Along this line, we first discuss the notion of artefact for MAS in general, then we try to devise out the admissible / required / desirable features of an artefact for MAS. We elaborate on the many sorts of possible relations between agents and artefacts, focusing in particular on the issue of the rational exploitation of artefacts, and also rough out a possible taxonomy of artefacts for MAS.

17O MAS NMR study of 12-molybdophosphoric acid

¹⁷O MAS NMR spectra for¹⁷O enriched solid heteropoly acid H₃PMo₁₂O₄₀ are reported. The oxygen exchange between solid H₃PMo₁₂ ¹⁷O₄₀ and H₂ ¹⁶O vapor at 200–250°C is shown to be accompanied by fast mixing of terminal Mo=O and bridging Mo-O-Mo oxygens in the Keggin unit. The oxygen exchange in H₃PMo₁₂ ¹⁷O₄₀ is much faster than in H₃PW₁₂ ¹⁷O₄₀ in solution as well as in the gas phase.     

The study on the conductivity of styrene-maleic anhydride copolymer electrolytes based on poly(ethylene glycol)400 and LiClO4

Polyelectrolytes, in this study were synthesized from styrene-maleic anhydride (SMA) copolymer, poly(ethylene glycol)400 (PEG400), and lithium perchlorate (LiClO₄). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and magic angle spinning (MAS) solid-state NMR were used to monitor the interaction between Li⁺ ions and polymer. The results of FTIR and MAS solid-state NMR indicate the Li⁺ ions are preferentially coordinated to the ether oxygen of PEG. The T_g of the PEG segments in polyelectrolyte increases with LiClO₄ concentration, as determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), indicating that solubility of the Li⁺ ions in the host polymer increases with the PEG content. Impedance spectroscopy (IS) shows that the bulk conductivity of polyelectrolytes and the conductivity behavior obeys the Vogel-Tamman-Fulcher (VTF) equation.     

Characterization of pedicel,paper, and larval silk from nest ofPolistes annularis (L.)

The pedicel, nest paper, and larval silk ofPolistes annularis nests were analyzed by high-resolution solid-state [¹³C]NMR. The pedicel was found to have a high nitrogen content (11%), and the NMR spectra indicated that it is a mixture of carbohydrate and protein. The pedicel protein has an amino acid composition that is very rich in glycine, alanine, serine, and proline (67% of identified residues), similar to that of some insect silks. Solid-state [¹³C]NMR indicated that the nest paper is composed predominantly of cellulose. Silk, spun by matureP. annularis larvae, was shown by [¹³C] NMR and amino acid analysis to be a protein very high in serine and alanine (53%), but the amino acid composition is distinct from that of the pedicel protein.

基于MAS的加工中心协同开发系统框架及建模

构建具有一定智能响应特征的加工中心协同开发系统对于缩短产品开发周期具有重要作用。为实现加工中心分布式协同设计软件系统的构造,通过分析系统开发需求,利用目前分布式智能软件系统研究的主流技术——MAS（Multi-Agent System）技术建立了系统的框架。针对系统拟实现的总任务,将系统分为不同的功能模块,并构造具有不同功能的Agents组织,描述了系统的开发框架和网络体系结构,对Agents之间的交互进行定义,最后利用统一建模语言（UML）对系统进行建模。加工中心协同开发系统框架和模型的建立为真正实现具有完善功能的软件系统奠定了坚实的基础,可在很大程度上避免软件开发的失败。
