GPGP – A Domain-Independent Implementation
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes a new, domain-independent design and implementation of TAEMS-based Java Agent Framework/Generalized Partial Global Planning agents that targets the DARPA Coordinators program challenge problem environment. It offers a description of the challenge problem environment, a mechanism utilized to provide abstract coordination problem contexts that avoids complete problem centralization, generalized coordination protocols, and some preliminary performance results.

Evolution of the GPGP/TÆMS Domain-Independent Coordination Framework12
Computer Science Department University of Massachusetts, Amherst [email protected] January 11, 2002 Abstract: The GPGP/TÆMS domain-independent coordination framework for small agent groups was first described almost ten years ago and then more fully detailed in an ICMAS95 paper. In this paper, we discuss the evolution of this framework over the last six years motivated by its use in a number ...
متن کاملEvolution of the GPGP Domain-Independent Coordination Framework
The GPGP domain-independent coordination structure for small agent groups was first detailed in an ICMAS95 paper. In this paper, we discuss the evolution of this framework over the last three years based on its being applied to a number of applications involving distributed situation assessment, information gathering and management, coordination of concurrent engineering activities and hospital...
متن کاملDesigning a Family of Coordination Algorithms
Many researchers have shown that there is no single best organization or coordination mechanism for all environments. This paper discusses the design and implementation of an extendable family of coordination mechanisms, called Generalized Partial Global Planning (GPGP). The set of coordination mechanisms described here assists in scheduling activities for teams of cooperative computational age...
متن کاملAdapting an Organization Design through Domain-Independent Diagnosis
Coordination is an essential technique in multi-agent systems. However, sophisticated coordination strategies are not always cost-effective in all problem-solving situations. This reinforces the need of situationspecific control rules, in which the benefits and the costs of coordination for the current situation are taken into account. We focus here on situation-specific control based on a long...
متن کاملIntegrating Detailed Real-Time Agent Control with Control for Large-Scale, Open, Multi-Agent Systems
Software agents operating in large-scale, open and dynamic, multiagent systems must be able to reason about how their candidate tasks relate to those being performed by other agents and how tasks relate to satisfying organizational goals and objectives. Reasoning at this level, however, is inherently different than the class of reasoning required to evaluate and coordinate the detailed domain a...
