Incentive-compatible mechanisms for norm monitoring in open multi-agent systems (Extended abstract) (2018)
Conference Proceeding

We consider the problem of detecting norm violations in open multi-agent systems (MAS). In this extended abstract, we outline the approach of [Alechina et al., 2018], and show how, using ideas from scrip systems, we can design mecha...

UnBias Youth Juries (2018)
Conference Proceeding

The UnBias Youth Juries engage young people in discussion of issues that affect their online lives, especially in relation to algorithms, through the presentation of scenarios and prompts. Results from the first wave of juries, held in February 2017,... Read More about UnBias Youth Juries.

An operational semantics for a fragment of PRS (2018)
Conference Proceeding

The Procedural Reasoning System (PRS) is arguably the first implementation of the Belief–Desire–Intention (BDI) approach to agent programming. PRS remains extremely influential, directly or indirectly inspiring the development of subsequent BDI agent p... Read More about An operational semantics for a fragment of PRS.

Modelling adaptive systems using plausible Petri nets (2018)
Conference Proceeding

One of the main challenges when analyzing and modelling complex systems using Petri nets is to deal with uncertain information, and moreover, to be able to use such uncertainty to dynamically adapt the modelled system to uncertain (changing) contextu...

Design of a 43kW switched reluctance machine for a high performance hybrid electric vehicle (2018)
Conference Proceeding

A switched reluctance machine (SRM) is very robust and capable to perform well under harsh conditions. It is simple in construction and avoids the use of magnets so it is cheap to manufacture. The powertrain of a hybrid vehicle presents challenging c... Read More about Design of a 43kW switched reluctance machine for a high performance hybrid electric vehicle.

Uncertainty quantification for random fields estimated from effective moduli of elasticity (2018)
Conference Proceeding

The stochastic finite element method is a useful tool to calculate the response of systems subject to uncertain parameters and has been applied extensively to analyse structures composed of randomly heterogeneous materials. The methodology to estimat... Read More about Uncertainty quantification for random fields estimated from effective moduli of elasticity.

Pneumatic membranes for biogas plants (2018)
Conference Proceeding

The biogas sector had a rapid development in the last decade with several new industrial plants realized all over Europe and Worldwide. The intrinsic efficiency of membrane structures [1] provided a cost effective solution to cover digesters, bio-fil... Read More about Pneumatic membranes for biogas plants.

Resource logics with a diminishing resource: extended abstract (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Model-checking resource logics with production and consumption of resources is a computationally hard and often undecidable problem. We show that it is more feasible under the assumption that there is at least one diminishing resource, that is, a res...

Exploring subsethood to determine firing strength in non-singleton fuzzy logic systems (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Real world environments face a wide range of sources of noise and uncertainty. Thus, the ability to handle various uncertainties, including noise, becomes an indispensable element of automated decision making. Non-Singleton Fuzzy Logic Systems (NSFLS...

A bidirectional subsethood based similarity measure for fuzzy sets (2018)
Conference Proceeding

Similarity measures are useful for reasoning about fuzzy sets. Hence, many classical set-theoretic similarity measures have been extended for comparing fuzzy sets. In previous work, a set-theoretic similarity measure considering the bidirectional sub... Read More about A bidirectional subsethood based similarity measure for fuzzy sets.
