Building a Testbed for Studying Service
نویسندگان
چکیده
Performing a task for a user is one part of assistance. As a prior step, a helper must identify which of a possible number of tasks should be assisted. We intend to study the requirements that enable service to be rendered and understand the factors that impact the delivery of assistance. Toward this end, we extended a simulated environment to use as our testbed for developing and evaluating approaches to service. Our new testbed, MÆDEN, supports multiple agents, communication between agents, and records detailed logs of agents’ behavior. We used the testbed in preliminary studies of servant and recipient behavior and interaction. Results hint at the usefulness of the testbed.

Studying Service: An Exploration of the Costs and Benefits of Assistance
If we are to provide systems that benefit human users, we need a better understanding of the nature of service. In this paper, we describe the necessary characteristics of a simulator for studying service, and then present MÆDEN, our attempt to satisfy those requirements. We then proceed to describe an initial set of agents that we use to explore the nature of service. Our experiments confirm t...
