A Blackboard System for Interpreting Agent Messages
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a prototype blackboard system for coordinating multiple agents in a real-time strategy game. Agents have limited cognitive abilities and communicate with the blackboard through structured messages. Agents sense their local environment at regular intervals and send perceptual information to the blackboard working space in the form of structured messages. The blackboard system performs high-level interpretation of these lowlevel percepts to generate high-level tactical and strategic information. In this paper, we describe the design of the various components of the blackboard. The system has been fully implemented and experiments have been performed with data from the Dropship game.

From Blackboards To Agents
The blackboard architecture has been successfully employed for a number of years and in diierent application domains. It is taken by many that there is only one possible interpretation of Newell's original blackboard metaphor, namely the one used in the design of HEARSAY-II, the rst blackboard system. This view is, however, completely false, and we present a new interpretation based on a ration...

The objective of this research is to provide appropriate cross-layer architecture for wireless cognitive networks for efficient resource allocation and improved quality of service. We proposed the blackboard model, which is known for coordinating multiple agents (cognitive nodes) in a real-time manner, receiving the current state of information from these nodes, providing conclusions basing on ...
متن کاملModeling Lateral Communication in Holonic Multi Agent Systems
Agents, in a multi agent system, communicate with each other through the process of exchanging messages which is called dialogue. Multi agent organization is generally used to optimize agents’ communications. Holonic organization demonstrates a self-similar recursive and hierarchical structure in which each holon may include some other holons. In a holonic system, lateral communication occurs b...
متن کاملConstructing agents blackboard communication architecture based on graph theory
In the agent blackboard communication architecture, agents do not interact with each other directly but through blackboard. The blackboard architecture includes central blackboard architecture and distributed one. In blackboard communication architecture, the location of central blackboard (or distributed sub-blackboards) and communication topology among subblackboards are two important issues ...
متن کاملPerformance of a Multi-agent Simulation on a Distributed Blackboard System
Research into multi-agent systems has increased over several years, leading to demand for multi-agent system simulators to investigate the interaction between different agents and their environment. The more complex and intelligent the agents become, the more difficult it is to simulate them. Distributing the simulation across different processors would improve its performance. This paper descr...
