Theoretical Foundations of the A2RD Project: Part I
Braga, Juliao, Silva, Joao Nuno, Endo, Patricia Takako, Omar, Nizam
In [24], the proposal for an inter-agent communication language (ACL) that gave rise to Java Agent Development Framework (JADE), whose best-known original document is [25] followed by a complementary article [26] and a much more complete text in [27]. The importance of the environment, in which the agents interact, is characterized in a very lucid manner in [28]. All active FIPA specifications are listed in Table I.
Blockchain to Improve Security and Knowledge in Inter-Agent Communication and Collaboration over Restrict Domains of the Internet Infrastructure
Braga, Juliao, Silva, Joao Nuno, Endo, Patricia Takako, Ribas, Jessica, Omar, Nizam
This paper describes the deployment and implementation of a blockchain to improve the security, knowledge and intelligence during the inter-agent communication and collaboration processes in restrict domains of the Internet Infrastructure. It is a work that proposes the application of a blockchain, platform independent, on a particular model of agents, but that can be used in similar proposals, once the results on the specific model were satisfactory.
Acquisition and use of knowledge over a restricted domain by intelligent agents
Braga, Juliao, Omar, Nizam, Thome, Luciana F.
This short paper provides a description of an architecture to acquisition and use of knowledge by intelligent agents over a restricted domain of the Internet Infrastructure. The proposed architecture is added to an intelligent agent deployment model over a very useful server for Internet Autonomous System administrators. Such servers, which are heavily dependent on arbitrary and eventual updates of human beings, become unreliable. This is a position paper that proposes three research questions that are still in progress.
Elon Musk: An AI Attack on the Internet is "Only a Matter of Time"
The technology we've developed to improve human lives may be turning into a massive weapon. Elon Musk, Tesla and SpaceX CEO, on a short exchange in Twitter called artificial intelligence a great threat to the internet, and it's only about time that we see a massive AI attack on internet infrastructure. Musk's tweets came in the backlash of an extensive Disributed Denial of Service (DDoS) hack attack last October 21 that left hundreds of sites including Netflix, PayPal, Spotify, and Twitter offline and unreachable for hours. DDoS attacks work by using a "botnet", or a linkage of computers that perform coordinated functions. Last months' DDoS attacks targeted Dyn, a Domain Name Server (DNS) that maintains the directory of websites' domain names and IP addresses, and is integral to keeping the sites up and running.
Victor Famubode: The political economy of technology and artificial intelligence in Africa - The ScoopNG
From driverless cars to online financial infrastructure payments, Artificial Intelligence obviously will be the heart of the next industrial revolution. The wave of globalisation and democracy cannot be overlooked regarding their contributions steering policy integration. Both concepts will play vital roles towards integrating the African continent under an umbrella perceived to end humanity (Artificial Intelligence). The rise of machines and robotics in high-income economies has been a contested discourse by philosophers, economists, tech geeks and policy makers. There is a rising belief it would steal jobs and render humanity useless and even economists seem not to be certain about the relevance of labour in this period. Immediately Japan was announced as the host of 2020 Olympics, what would strike one's mind is the presence of robotics during the famous sporting event.
The Unbelievable Reality of the Impossible Hyperloop
The tube is out back, 11 feet in diameter, 60 feet long, the unfinished end spiraling into wide ribbons of steel--like a gigantic Pillsbury dough container with its seams gaping open. Behind the tube is a big blue tent known as the robot school, where autonomous welders wheel or crawl along, making the tubes airtight. The goal is to put tracks and electromagnets inside the tube and vacuum the air out. Ultimately, capsules will scream through the center of such a tube at 700 miles per hour on a cushion of air--a way to get from A to B faster and more efficiently than planes or trains. The first public tests of this concept, albeit on an open-air track, will take place in North Las Vegas this week.
