Developing a Team of Gold Miners Using Jason

摘要

This document gives an overview of a multi-agent system formed by a team of gold miners to compete in the Multi-Agent Programming Contest 2007 (the "gold miners" scenario). One of the main objectives has been to test and improve Jason, the interpreter for an agent programming language used to implement the MAS.

The language is inspired by the BDI architecture [7], hence based on notions such as beliefs, goals, plans, intentions, etc.
