Object Oriented Logic Programming as an Agent Building Infrastructure
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that agent programming patterns are well expressed in terms of an object oriented layer extended with a generalized inheritance mechanism and independent logic programming based inference engines. Instead of proposing yet another agent programming “model” we simply derive key agent programming patterns as the natural result of a set of programming language constructs. The suggested equation: Agents = Objects + Logic + Inference Engines + Coordination + Remote Action provides orthogonal agent composition mechanisms which are expressive and highly reusable. The approach described in this paper has emerged in the process of building Agent classes as extensions to our industrial strength Object Oriented Prolog system, Jinni 2002, available for online evaluation at: http://www.binnetcorp.com/Jinni

Object-Agent Oriented Programming
Object-oriented programming has been used for building intelligent agents, with the limitation it cannot represent complex mental attitudes. With logic programming it is possible to represent and infer relationships among mental attitudes such as intentions, goals and beliefs, with limitations in the usage of capabilities of action. This paper presents two alternatives for integrating object-or...

This paper describes a comprehensive solution for the integration of object oriented ontology representation frameworks with logic-based agent communication frameworks. The proposed solution addresses the problem at both the agent communication level and the agent implementation level. At the agent communication level, we propose to extend logic content languages with some domain independent op...

متن کاملAn Agent Oriented Programming Language Targeting the Microsoft Common Language Runtime
In the last decades, a significant growth of agent oriented systems has been observed, which has stimulated a more precise formalism for the definition of both agent and multi-agent systems, as well as the release of a huge number of agent development environment. In this work a new programming paradigm is proposed, that is agent oriented programming instead of object oriented programming. The ...
متن کاملMulti-Agent-Systems Based on Coloured Petri Nets
Based on Y. Shoham's paradigm, called Agent-Oriented Programming (AOP), multi-agent-systems are presented as a specialization of distributed, Object-Oriented systems. Equipped with knowledge , general concurrent inference mechanisms dealing with this knowledge, and a declarative agent program, these multi-agent-systems are intended to be a foundation of a new approach uniting advantages of many...
