چکیده

This short paper describes the design and development of a simple agent system aimed at addressing the food gathering problem set for the 2005 CLIMA contest. Our system is implemented as a collection of reactive agents which dynamically switch between a number of behaviours depending on interaction with their environment. Our agents maintain no internal representation of their environment and operate purely in response to their immediate surroundings. The agents collectively map the environment co-operating indirectly via environmental markers and they use these markers to assist them in locating the depot when they discover food. The required behaviour emerges from the interaction between agents and the marked environment. The application can be downloaded from: http://219.1.164.219/∼robert/pwBlog/wp-content/CLIMAbuild.zip

– Communicating ( Unconvenient ) Science

In this paper we introduce Clima Futura, a game about climate change. The primary aim of Clima Futura is to gain experience with the parameters affecting climate change and to give access to climate change related research in a playful manner. The concept for the game has been developed as a submission for the yearly Dutch contest for the communication of science. In this paper we will give an ...

The Second Contest on Multi-Agent Systems Based on Computational Logic

The second edition of the contest on Multi-Agent Systems based on computational logic was held in conjunction with the CLIMA ’06 workshop in Hakodate, Japan. Based on the experiences from the first edition of this contest ([8]), we decided to improve the setting of the first edition. In particular, we built a server to simulate the multi-agent system environment in which the agents from differe...

Implementing Pheromone-Based, Negotiating Forager Agents

Wedescribe an implementation of distributed,multi-threaded BDI-style [RG95] agents cooperating efficiently in a foraging scenario. Using ant-style pheromone trails as the basis for a pseudo-random walk procedure, they explore the world uniformly and negotiate to allocate collection and delivery tasks. Global information is disseminated via a publish/subscribe mechanism. The system is implemente...

The First Contest on Multi-agent Systems Based on Computational Logic

This is a short report about the first contest of Multi-Agent Systems (MASs) that are based on computational logic. The CLIMA workshop series (which started in 1999) is a forum to discuss techniques, based on computational logic, for representing, programming, and reasoning about Multi-Agent Systems in a formal way. Now in its seventh year, it was felt that organising a competition for evaluati...
