Ter Mors, A.W. (author), Witteveen, C. (author), Zutt, J. (author), Kuipers, F.A. (author)In context-aware route planning, there is a set of transportation agents each with a start and destination location on a shared infrastructure. Each agent wants to find a shortest-time route plan without colliding with any of the other agents, or ending up in a deadlock situation. We present a single-agent route planning algorithm that is both...conference paper 2010

Planken, L.R. (author), De Weerdt, M.M. (author), Witteveen, C. (author)When agents need to interact in order to solve some (possibly common) problem, resolving potential conflicts beforehand is often preferred to coordination during execution. Agents may lose some flexibility, but their course of action will be more predictable and often also more efficient, obtaining a socially optimal outcome instead of a local...conference paper 2010

Ter Mors, A.W. (author), Yadati, C. (author), Witteveen, C. (author), Zhang, Y. (author)We consider a multi-agent planning problem as a set of activities that has to be planned by several autonomous agents. In general, due to the possible dependencies between the agents’ activities or interactions during execution of those activities, allowing agents to plan individually may lead to a very inefficient or even infeasible solution to...journal article 2009

Stranders, R. (author), De Weerdt, M.M. (author), Witteveen, C. (author)In an open Multi-Agent System, the goals of agents acting on behalf of their owners often conflict with each other. Therefore, a personal agent protecting the interest of a single user cannot always rely on them. Consequently, such a personal agent needs to be able to reason about trusting (information or services provided by) other agents....book chapter 2008

Oosterman, J.E.G. (author), Ravenhorst, R. (author), Witteveen, C. (author), Van Leeuwen, P. (author)At airports, the turnaround process of aircraft is crucial for a timely and efficient handling of air traffic. During this process, a number of services need to be provided during the time the aircraft is at the gate: e.g., de-boarding, cleaning, catering, fuelling, and boarding. These services are provided by different service providers (agents...conference paper 2008

Verwer, S.E. (author), De Weerdt, M.M. (author), Witteveen, C. (author)We describe an efficient algorithm for learning deterministic real-time automata (DRTA) from positive data. This data can be obtained from observations of the process to be modeled. The DRTA model we learn from such data can be used reason and gain knowledge about realtime systems such as network protocols, business processes, reactive systems,...conference paper 2008

Verwer, S.E. (author), De Weerdt, M.M. (author), Witteveen, C. (author)This paper describes an efficient algorithm for learning a timed model from observations. The algorithm is based on the state merging method for learning a deterministic finite state automaton (DFA). This method and its problem have been the subject of many studies within the grammatical inference field, see e.g. (de la Higuera, 2005)....conference paper 2008

Verwer, S.E. (author), De Weerdt, M.M. (author), Witteveen, C. (author)A common model for discrete event systems is a deterministic finite automaton (DFA). An advantage of this model is that it can be interpreted by domain experts. When observing a real-world system, however, there often is more information than just the sequence of discrete events: the time at which these events occur may be very important. In...conference paper 2007

Verwer, S.E. (author), De Weerdt, M.M. (author), Witteveen, C. (author)We describe an algorithm for learning simple timed automata, known as real-time automata. The transitions of real-time automata can have a temporal constraint on the time of occurrence of the current symbol relative to the previous symbol. The learning algorithm is similar to the redblue fringe state-merging algorithm for the problem of learning...conference paper 2007

Steenhuisen, J.R. (author), De Weerdt, M.M. (author), Witteveen, C.

However, these autonomous agents might cause a decrease in effectiveness when individually constructed plans for moderately-coupled tasks are not jointly feasible. Existing coordination techniques can be applied...conference paper 2007

Verwer, S.E. (author), De Weerdt, M.M. (author), Witteveen, C. (author)We are interested in identifying a model for discrete event systems from observations. A common way to model discrete event systems is by using deterministic finite state automata (DFA). When observing a system, however, there often is information in addition to the system events, namely, their times of occurrence. If this time information is...conference paper 2006

Deicing planning has to be done in a highly dynamic environment involving several autonomous and self-interested parties. Traditional centralized scheduling approaches do not acknowledge the autonomy of parties...conference paper 2006

Buzing, P.C. (author), Steenhuisen, J.R. (author), Witteveen, C. (author)We address the problem of coordinating autonomous agents that have to come up with a joint plan and schedule for a set of tasks. These tasks are interdependent and temporally constrained and are distributed over the agents. We start with investigating the scheduling part of the problem: How to achieve, given the constraints, a joint solution to...conference paper 2006
