What Is It that Drives Dynamics: We Don’t Believe in Ghosts, Do We?
Dynamics has puzzled researchers since long ago. Among them are Greek philosophers such as Zeno of Elea (about 490-425 BC) and Aristotle (384-322 BC). They pointed at the phenomenon that the world occurs to u...

Dynamic Allocation of a Domestic Heating Task to Gas-Based and Heatpump-Based Heating Agents
In this paper a multi-agent model for a domestic heating task is introduced and analysed. The model includes two alternative heating agents (for gas-based heating and for heatpump-based heating), and a third a...

A Human-Like Agent Model for Attribution of Actions Using Ownership States and Inverse Mirroring
This paper presents a neurologically inspired human-like agent model addressing attribution of actions to agents. It is not only capable of attribution of own actions to itself, but also to other agents, as fo...
