Finally, the proposed coverage and formation methods are examined via a numerical example where multiple heterogeneous teams of agents with potentially different number of agents are deployed.
Utilizing multiple, heterogeneous collaborative learning agents is shown to be successful for this classification problem.
Specifically, we propose and analyze heterogeneous facility location without money, a novel model wherein: (i) we have multiple heterogeneous (i.e., serving different purposes) facilities, (ii) agents' locations are disclosed to the mechanism and (iii) agents bid for the set of facilities they are interested in (as opposed to bidding for their position on the network).
For this reason, the paper focuses primarily on designing a general knowledge mediation infrastructure (GKMI) which supports the use of general knowledge from multiple heterogeneous sources, and provides an unified access point for typical multi-agent systems (MAS) to access that knowledge.
Thus the Web is, potentially, a great resource for software agents, which can be programmed to extract and fuse information from multiple, heterogeneous sources in response to a query.
It has been demonstrated that Agent-Based Modeling and Monte Carlo Analysis provide a platform to integrate and simulate multiple heterogeneous components at different levels, and identify different types of emergence through modeling the interactions between technical systems, human operators, working procedures, and environment.
The knowledge reuse and fusion/transformation (KRAFT) project has defined a generic agent-based architecture to support knowledge fusion — the process of locating and extracting knowledge from multiple, heterogeneous on-line sources, and transforming it so that the union of the knowledge can be applied in problem-solving.
Migration is also an experience of time as multiple, heterogeneous.
All the data comprise multiple heterogeneous data repositories.
