@conference{CarreraEumas2011, author = "Carrera Barroso, {\'A}lvaro and Iglesias, Carlos A.", abstract = " This article proposes a MAS architecture for network diagnosis under uncertainty. Network diagnosis is divided into two inference processes: hypothesis generation and hypothesis confirmation. The first process is distributed among several agents based on a Multiply Sectioned Bayesian Network (MSBN), while the second one is carried out by agents using semantic reasoning. A diagnosis ontology has been defined in order to combine both inference processes. To drive the deliberation process, dynamic data about the influence of observable variables (data) are taken during diagnosis process. In order to achieve quick and reliable diagnoses, this influence is used to choose the best action to perform. This approach has been evaluated in a P2P video streaming scenario. Computational and time improvements are highlight as conclusions.", booktitle = "9th European Workshop on Multi-agent Systems (EUMAS 2011)", keywords = "agent,bayesian,ontology,diagnosis,network", title = "{A} {M}odular {A}gent {A}rchitecture for {O}ptimising {H}ypothesis confirmation cost in {N}etwork {D}iagnos", year = "2011", }
