Reusable Strategies for Software Agents via the Subsumption
نویسندگان
چکیده
The subsumption architecture is a layered mediator invented by Rodney Brooks for behaviour-based control of robots. The layers are minimally dependent and use minimal communication. We develop an object-oriented software design for the subsumption architecture, and demonstrate that each layer can be used as a slot for a set of plug-and-play components that implement diierent micro-strategies for achieving a particular goal. The software architecture, and the reuse of micro-strategy components, is validated by developing truck agents within the Truckin' simulation game. Guidelines for the development of speciic layers and components of a subsumption architecture are also presented.

Building Brains for Rooms: Designing Distributed Software Agents
This paper argues that complex, embedded software agent systems are best constructed with parallel, layered architectures. These systems resemble Minskian Societies of Mind and Brooksian subsumption controllers for robots, and they demonstrate that complex behaviors can be had via the aggregates of relatively simple interacting agents. We illustrate this principle with a distributed software ag...
متن کاملThe Reactive Accompanist: Applying Subsumption Architecture To Software Design
Many knowledge-based systems suffer from structural problems such as inefficiency rooted in overinformedness and inability to cope with the unexpected or exceptional nature of real-world data. Behaviour-based architectures are better suited for such problems, but are not yet widely applied, possibly because design strategies are not yet well established. In robotics, subsumption architecture ha...

A mild and efficient method has been developed for the preparation of substituted coumarins from reaction of various phenols with different β-ketoesters via Pechmann condensation in the presence of Brønsted acidic ionic liquid (N-(4-sulfonic acid) butyl triethylammonium hydrogen sulfate) as an effective catalyst under solvent-free conditions. Different phenols reacted with ethyl acetoacetate to...
