A DISTRIBUTED INTELLIGENT SYSTEM INFRASTRUCTURE BASED ON JAVA AGENTS

摘要

Emerging efficient and intelligent behaviors from co-operative activities of many autonomous agents comprise unexpected events that often take place inside animal social organizations. This type of evidence induced artificial intelligence researchers to re-design the artificial computing system architectures, from monolithic and hierarchical structures toward networked and component distributed environments. In this paper, we present DISI which is a software framework to develop agent application for interoperable intelligent multi-agent systems. DISI supports the development of new intelligent systems which can be tightly coupled to code written in the powerful, portable Java language. DISI has been explored under slack coupling with agent-oriented programming method and multi-agent distributed cooperative problem solving pattern. Unified relational knowledge base standard is built. It makes knowledge transferred among agents easy, and brings up communicating efficiency greatly. The main result of the work was that, from the co-operative activities of these three software components, together with the human agent, the capacity to learn and adapt solutions for the current problem arises as a proper and additional feature of such hybrid system.
