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 کاملMycobacterium tuberculosis Rv2419c, the missing glucosyl-3-phosphoglycerate phosphatase for the second step in methylglucose lipopolysaccharide biosynthesis
Mycobacteria synthesize intracellular methylglucose lipopolysaccharides (MGLP) proposed to regulate fatty acid synthesis. Although their structures have been elucidated, the identity of most biosynthetic genes remains unknown. The first step in MGLP biosynthesis is catalyzed by a glucosyl-3-phosphoglycerate synthase (GpgS, Rv1208 in Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv). However, a typical glucosyl...
متن کامل{26 () Coordinating Mutually Exclusive Resources Using Gpgp
Hospital Patient Scheduling is an inherently distributed problem because of the way real hospitals are organized. As medical procedures have become more complex, and their associated tests and treatments have become interrelated, the current ad hoc patient scheduling solutions have been observed to break down 23]. We propose a multi-agent solution using the Generalized Partial Global Planning (...
متن کاملAn agent-oriented approach to support change propagation in software evolution
Software maintenance and evolution is arguably a lengthy and expensive phase in the life cycle of a software system. A critical issue at this phase is change propagation: given a set of primary changes that have been made to software, what additional secondary changes are needed? Although many approaches have been proposed, automated change propagation is still a significant technical challenge...
متن کاملStudy on Improved GPGP-Based Multi-agent Semiconductor Fabrication Line Dynamic Scheduling Method
A semiconductor fabrication line dynamic scheduling(SFLDS) model combining MAS(Multi-Agent System) with multi-intelligence algorithms is presented in this paper. The proposed model is based on the improved generalized partial global planning(GPGP) and utilizes the advantages of static intelligence algorithms with dynamic MAS. A scheduling process from ‘macro-scheduling to micro-scheduling to re...
