Implementing Validated Agents Behaviours with Automata Based on Goal Decomposition Trees

摘要

In order to provide an effective tool allowing to implement validated agents behaviours, this paper first presents a Goal Decomposition Tree (GDT), a model to specify behaviours both in procedural and declarative ways. A GDT allows the designer to verify the specified behaviour. This model is then used to generate a behaviour automaton using automata composition patterns associated to operators used in the tree. This process allows to obtain a finite expression representing all valid behaviours of agents of a MAS.
