Building Blocks for Agent Design
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present our Component-Based Agent Framework, which enables a software engineer to design a set of agents by using a visual compo nent-based toolkit (Sun’s BDK), and wiring together desired blocks of functionality. We instantiate this framework in the RoboCup domain by implementing the necessary components. The implementation also serves as a proof of the viability of our framework. Finally, we use this implementation to build sample agents. The proposed framework is a first step towards the merging of agent-based and component-based design tools.

Pattern-Oriented Design for Multi-Agent System: A Conceptual Model
Design patterns represent solutions to specific problem of developing one application that have evolved over time. They leverage the reuse level to the design phase by providing a common vocabulary of design, means of understanding designs and proven building blocks from which more complex applications are built. Much of the research work on design patterns in agent world has primarily focused ...
متن کاملEconomic Regulation Design for the Electricity Distribution Companies of Iran
In addition to the necessity of liberalizing the price of the various sectors of electricity, the regulation of sectors that still maintain their own monopoly structure is mandatory. In order to improve the efficiency of these sectors and encourage their cost reduction, incentive-based regulatory approaches are used which rely on performance evaluation. Due to the monopolistic structure of Iran...
متن کاملDesigning multi-agent unit tests using systematic test design patterns-(extended version)
Software agents are the basic building blocks in many software systems especially those based on artificial intelligence methods, e.g., reinforcement learning based multi-agent systems (MASs). However, testing software agents is considered a challenging problem. This is due to the special characteristics of agents which include its autonomy, distributed nature, intelligence, and heterogeneous c...
متن کاملDesiderata for Incorporating Coordination Design into a Designer’s Desktop for DAI (Extended Abstract)
This paper discusses certain requirements for including facilities for coordination design in a designer’s desktop for intelligent agent systems (IAS). The term ‘coordination design’ is used to mean the selection of suitable agent interaction techniques from a technique toolbox. The aim is to allow optimal coordination to be designed into an IAS. Other essential features for a designer’s deskto...
