A Teamwork Infrastructure for Computer Games with Real-Time Requirements

摘要

Although there are many researches in teamwork, the development of agent teams for complex environments still present many challenges, espe-cially if these environments have real-time requirements. Many tools have been developed, but there is no silver bullet, and the most general tools have serious problems with the real-time requirements. This paper introduces a new proxy-based tool, based on Joint Intentions, to help agents to be a teammate in partially observable, dynamic and stochastic environments with real-time requirements. Validation experiments with the computer game Unreal Tournament 2004 have demonstrated impressive results.
