- Raciocínio adaptativo de base emocional em agentes inteligentesPublication . Morgado, Luís; Gaspar, GraçaO projecto e implementação de agentes inteligentes capazes de comportamento eficaz em ambientes reais, onde a incerteza e o dinamismo são generalizados e onde tempo e recursos são limitados, levanta problemas importantes, relacionados quer com a capacidade adaptativa dos agentes, quer com a complexidade computacional dos processos cognitivos envolvidos, em particular de processos de raciocínio e planeamento. Neste artigo são apresentados mecanismos de base emocional que tornam possível a adaptação a ambientes dinâmicos e um uso controlado de recursos, através da focagem dos processos cognitivos. No sentido de avaliar a abordagem proposta são apresentados resultados experimentais em comparação com resultados de outras abordagens de referência.
- RFID together with multi-agent systems to control global value chainsPublication . Dias, J. C. Q.; Calado, João Manuel Ferreira; F. G. Osório, A. Luís; Morgado, LuísNowadays, the cooperative intelligent transport systems are part of a largest system. Transportations are modal operations integrated in logistics and, logistics is the main process of the supply chain management. The supply chain strategic management as a simultaneous local and global value chain is a collaborative/cooperative organization of stakeholders, many times in co-opetition, to perform a service to the customers respecting the time, place, price and quality levels. The transportation, like other logistics operations must add value, which is achieved in this case through compression lead times and order fulfillments. The complex supplier's network and the distribution channels must be efficient and the integral visibility (monitoring and tracing) of supply chain is a significant source of competitive advantage. Nowadays, the competition is not discussed between companies but among supply chains. This paper aims to evidence the current and emerging manufacturing and logistics system challenges as a new field of opportunities for the automation and control systems research community. Furthermore, the paper forecasts the use of radio frequency identification (RFID) technologies integrated into an information and communication technologies (ICT) framework based on distributed artificial intelligence (DAI) supported by a multi-agent system (MAS), as the most value advantage of supply chain management (SCM) in a cooperative intelligent logistics systems. Logistical platforms (production or distribution) as nodes of added value of supplying and distribution networks are proposed as critical points of the visibility of the inventory, where these technological needs are more evident.
