Robust Agent-Based Systems Incorporating Teams of Communicating Agents

摘要

This report describes OGI's contribution to agent based systems design and prototyping. The project had two major thrusts: I) the development of the Adaptive Agent Architecture (A3), and 2) the development of a second generation agent communication language (AgentTalk). The A3 architecture supports human participation as agents, dynamic formation of agent teams, reorganization of teams based on network loads, and offers libraries for legacy code to be able to participate in agent based systems. AgentTalk offers a small set of primitive communication actions, operators with which to build more complex communication activities, provably correct dialogue protocols, and is a candidate for international standardization.
