Ocean, carrier, aircraft, and atmosphere are treated as aggregation agents, the detailed components like catapult, landing gears, and disturbances are considered as meta-agents, which belong to their aggregation agent. Thus, the model with two layers is formed i.e. the aggregation agent layer and the meta-agent layer. The information communication among all agents is described. The meta-agents within one aggregation agent communicate with each other directly by information sharing, but the meta-agents, which belong to different aggregation agents exchange their information through the aggregation layer first, and then perceive it from the sharing environment, that is the aggregation agent. Thus, not only the hierarchy model is built, but also the environment perceived by each agent is specified. Meanwhile, the problem of balancing the independency of agent and the resource consumption brought by real-time communication within multi-agent system (MAS) is resolved. Each agent involved in carrier-based aircraft catapult launch is depicted, with considering the interaction within disturbed atmospheric environment and multiple motion bodies including carrier, aircraft, and landing gears. The models of reactive agents among them are derived based on tensors, and the perceived messages and inner frameworks of each agent are characterized. Finally, some results of a simulation instance are given. The simulation and modeling of dynamic system based on multi-agent system is of benefit to express physical concepts and logical hierarchy clearly and precisely. The system model can easily draw in kinds of other agents to achieve a precise simulation of more complex system. This modeling technique makes the complex integral dynamic equations of multibodies decompose into parallel operations of single agent, and it is convenient to expand, maintain, and reuse the program codes.展开更多

The RL is used to minimize average delay of arterial vehicles by training the interaction ability between agents and exterior environments. The Robertson platoon dispersion model is embedded in the RL algorithm to precisely predict platoon movements on arteries and then the reward function is developed based on the dispersion model and delay equations cited by HCM2000. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated in a Matlab environment and comparisons between the algorithm and the conventional coordination algorithm are conducted in three different traffic load scenarios. Results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the conventional algorithm in all the scenarios. Moreover, with the increase in saturation degree, the performance is improved more significantly. The results verify the feasibility and efficiency of the established algorithm.展开更多

Based on the behavioral characteristics and hierarchical structure of the collision avoidance decision-making in real life driving, delphi approach and mathematical statistics method are introduced to construct pair-wise comparison judgment matrix of collision avoidance decision choices to each collision situation. Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is adopted to establish the agents' collision avoidance decision-making model. To simulate drivers' characteristics, driver factors are added to categorize driving modes into impatient mode, normal mode, and the cautious mode. The results show that this model can simulate human's thinking process, and the agents in the virtual environment can deal with collision situations and make decisions to avoid collisions without intervention. The model can also reflect diversity and uncertainly of real life driving behaviors, and solves the multi-objective, multi-choice ranking priority problem in multi-vehicle collision scenarios. This collision avoidance model of multi-agents model is feasible and effective, and can provide richer and closer-to-life virtual scene for driving simulator, reflecting real-life traffic environment more truly, this model can also promote the practicality of driving simulator.展开更多

This model has 8 agents: raw materials stock agent,process agent,testing agent,transition agent,production information agent,scheduling agent,process agent and stock agent. The scheduling agent has three subagents: manager agent (MA),resource agent (RA) and part agent (PA). MA,PA and RA are communicating equally that guarantees agility of the whole MAS system. The part tasks pass between MA,RA and PA as an integer,which can guarantee the consistency of the data. We use a detailed example about shop logistics scheduling in a semiconductor company to explain the principle. In this example,we use two scheduling strategies: FCFS and SPT. The result data indicates that the average flow time and lingering ratio are changed using different strategy. It is proves that the multi-agent scheduling is useful.展开更多

The paper has built up a set of spatial-temporal land resource allocation rules and developed a dynamic urban expansion model based on a multi-agent system, which can simulate the interaction among different agents, such as residents, peasants, and governments. This model is applied to simulate urban expansion process taking Changsha City, in China as a study area. The results show that this model can not only reflect basic characteristics of urban expansion, but also help explain the reasons for urban expansion process and understand the effect of agents' behavior on the expansion process, and provide insights into the causing factors behind the expansion. In addition, in contrast to simulation results with land use classification map from remote sensing images, the precision of the simulation reached over 68% with higher precision than cellular automata model according to the cell-by-cell comparison. The results suggest that the model can help to provide land use decision making support to government and urban planners.展开更多

文摘Dear Editor,This letter studies a real-world issue in leader-follower multi-agent systems(MASs)named open topology,which permits the variations of agent set and network connections.Specially,a novel transition process is developed to explain how the involved variation of network scale affects the dynamic behavior of the MASs.From a resource limited perspective,the distributed saturated impulsive control is then designed,under which some sufficient criteria are integrated into local quasi-consensus performance.We also provide a combined optimization algorithm for all agents to make the estimated domain of initial errors closer to the real one,thereby resulting in less conservativeness.Finally,a numerical example validates our results.

文摘Density-functional-theory(DFT)simulations with the Vienna Ab initio Simulation Package(VASP)are indispensable in computational materials science but often require extensive manual setup,monitoring,and postprocessing.Here,we introduce VASPilot,an open-source platform that fully automates VASP workflows via a multi-agent architecture built on the CrewAI framework and a standardized model context protocol(MCP).VASPilot’s agent suite handles every stage of a VASP study from retrieving crystal structures and generating input files to submitting Slurm jobs,parsing error messages,and dynamically adjusting parameters for seamless restarts.A lightweight Quart-based web interface provides intuitive task submission,real-time progress tracking,and drill-down access to execution logs,structure visualizations,and plots.We validated VASPilot on both routine and advanced benchmarks:automated band-structure and density-of-states calculations(including on-the-fly symmetry corrections),plane-wave cutoff convergence tests,lattice-constant optimizations with various van der Waals corrections,and cross-material band-gap comparisons for transition-metal dichalcogenides.In all cases,VASPilot completed the missions reliably and without manual intervention.Moreover,its modular design allows easy extension to other DFT codes simply by deploying the appropriate MCP server.By offloading technical overhead,VASPilot enables researchers to focus on scientific discovery and accelerates high-throughput computational materials research.
文摘This study examines the advent of agent interaction(AIx)as a transformative paradigm in humancomputer interaction(HCI),signifying a notable evolution beyond traditional graphical interfaces and touchscreen interactions.Within the context of large models,AIx is characterized by its innovative interaction patterns and a plethora of application scenarios that hold great potential.The paper highlights the pivotal role of AIx in shaping the future landscape of the large model industry,emphasizing its adoption and necessity from a user's perspective.This study underscores the pivotal role of AIx in dictating the future trajectory of a large model industry by emphasizing the importance of its adoption and necessity from a user-centric perspective.The fundamental drivers of AIx include the introduction of novel capabilities,replication of capabilities(both anthropomorphic and superhuman),migration of capabilities,aggregation of intelligence,and multiplication of capabilities.These elements are essential for propelling innovation,expanding the frontiers of capability,and realizing the exponential superposition of capabilities,thereby mitigating labor redundancy and addressing a spectrum of human needs.Furthermore,this study provides an in-depth analysis of the structural components and operational mechanisms of agents supported by large models.Such advancements significantly enhance the capacity of agents to tackle complex problems and provide intelligent services,thereby facilitating a more intuitive,adaptive,and personalized engagement between humans and machines.The study further delineates four principal categories of interaction patterns that encompass eight distinct modalities of interaction,corresponding to twenty-one specific scenarios,including applications in smart home systems,health assistance,and elderly care.This emphasizes the significance of this new paradigm in advancing HCI,fostering technological advancements,and redefining user experiences.However,it also acknowledges the challenges and ethical considerations that accompany this paradigm shift,recognizing the need for a balanced approach to harness the full potential of AIx in modern society.
