MAGES : A Multiagent Testbed for Heterogeneous Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a multiagent system, MAGES, which is used as a testbed for experimenting with different types of interactions between agents using heterogeneous architectures and behavior. This testbed is implemented as an extension of ACTALK, a generic actor language defined in SMALLTALK. It provides for : the ability to describe various agent architectures through a hierarchy of agent types, sophisticated environment models, communications beween different grain-size agents, user-friendly interface and debugging tools.

A PVM implementation of the Fishmarket Multiagent System
This is an implementation proposal for a Structured Negotiation Environment for Heterogeneous Agents (SNE-H ) based on the Fishmarket metaphor. Our aim in this implementation is to explore design issues that may be relevant for the construction of a testbed for heterogeneous agent architectures. Hence, the Fishmarket multiagent system has been built on PVM as a prototype for a family of even mo...
متن کاملTest bed for multiagent control systems in road traffic management
In this paper we present a test bed for multiagent control systems in road traffic management. As the complexity of traffic control on a network grows it becomes more difficult to coordinate the actions of the large number of heterogeneous traffic management instruments that are available in the network. One way of handling this complexity is to divide the coordination problem into smaller cohe...
متن کاملColored Trails: A Multiagent System Testbed for Decision-Making Research (Demo Paper)
With increasing frequency, computer agents participate in collaborative and competitive multiagent domains in which humans reason strategically to make decisions. The deployment of computer agents in such domains requires that the agents understand something about human behavior so that they can interact successfully with people; the computer agents must be sensitive to how people reason in str...
متن کاملMultiagent Systems for Environmental Perception
Multiagent systems are distributed systems in which a number of individual autonomous heterogeneous agents interact and operate in an environment. Agents can be physical (computers or robots) or logical (software) entities. One of the early classical applications of the multiagent systems was in distributed sensing and monitoring, as appears from the work by Victor Lesser and colleagues (1981) ...
متن کاملA Multiagent Reinforcement Learning algorithm to solve the Community Detection Problem
Community detection is a challenging optimization problem that consists of searching for communities that belong to a network under the assumption that the nodes of the same community share properties that enable the detection of new characteristics or functional relationships in the network. Although there are many algorithms developed for community detection, most of them are unsuitable when ...
