A review on visible-light eye-tracking methods based on a low-cost camera
This paper is the first of a two-part study aiming at building a low-cost visible-light eye tracker (ET) for people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The whole study comprises several phases: (1) analysis of the scientific literature, (2) selection of the studies that better fit the main goal, (3) building the ET, and (4) testing with final users. This document basically contains the two first phases, in which more than 500 studies, from different scientific databases (IEEE Xplore, Scopus, SpringerLink, etc.), fulfilled the inclusion criteria, and were analyzed following the guidelines of a scoping review. Two researchers screened the searching results and selected 44 studies (-value = 0.86, Kappa Statistic). Three main methods (appearance-, feature- or model- based) were identified for visible-light ETs, but none significantly outperformed the others according to the reported accuracy -p = 0.14, Kruskal–Wallis test (KW)-. The feature-based method is abundant in the literature, although the number of appearance-based studies is increasing due to the use of deep learning techniques. Head movements worsen the accuracy in ETs, and only a very few numbers of studies considered the use of algorithms to correct the head pose. Even though head movements seem not to be a big issue for people with ALS, some slight head movements might be enough to worsen the ET accuracy. For this reason, only studies that did not constrain the head movements with a chinrest were considered. Five studies fulfilled the selection criteria with accuracies less than $$2^{\circ }$$ , and one of them is illuminance invariant.- 14 March 2024

PeMMAS: A Tool for Studying the Performance of Multiagent Systems Developed in JADE
This paper describes the performance measurement for multiagent systems (PeMMAS) tool, a system designed to study and measure the performance of any multiagent system (MAS) developed in JADE. The tool itself is another MAS which is deployed and coexists alongside the one being studied. This characteristic allows us to adapt PeMMAS to any scenario in which MAS deployment in JADE is used. PeMMAS extracts information from the target MAS regarding the use of system resources, the flight time for comprehensive messages according to agent type, as well as the processing time for actions. After processing this information, PeMMAS sends a report to the final user for subsequent analysis.

Multiagent system powered by neural network for positioning control of solar panels
This paper presents a model of neural network for position control of solar panels in multiagent-based control systems. This neural network is integrated within agents in order to optimize and predict the best positioning of solar panels depending on the position of the sun and other variables. The agents in this system can cooperate and coordinate to achieve a sun tracking system optimized, simple and adaptive.

Multi-Agent and Embedded System Technologies Applied to Improve the Management of Power Systems
This article explores a number of improvements made on Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems which allow them to be successfully used for automated surveillance. Even telecontrol operators who have limited experience with computers were able to employ the system without any difficulties. Other advances made by taking advantage of the strongest features of embedded and multi-agent system technologies are also featured in this article. These developments have been tested in a true industrial environment. Positive results and feedback have been provided by the tests

Managing emergency response operations for electric utility maintenance
One of the most important criteria used to measure the quality of service in the electric utility industry is the uninterrupted service supplied to the customers. So, preventive maintenance is very relevant to avoid failures in the electric utility network. However, when failure is inevitable, it is very important that emergency repair operations are accomplished as soon as possible so the operators can avoid high-risk situations. Service unavailability can be decreased, reducing the frequency of power interruptions, number of customers affected per interruption, and duration of the interruption. A MAS for managing maintenance and emergency response operations in the electric utility industry was presented. The proposed system has the capability to support maintenance operations and make planning decisions.
