T-compound: An Agent-Specific Design Pattern
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces the T-compound, an agent interaction pattern we propose as reusable architecture in the design of multi-agent systems. We explain why this model and its underlying concept of overhearing are relevant and specific to agents. Then, we describe two strategies of implementation, together with their qualities and weaknesses. We then identify the T-compound in various agent-based projects to confirm its properties of reusability and composability that turn it into design pattern. The paper ends with reports of other implementations that address overhearing and related concepts.

متن کاملFirst Case Report of an Unusual Echis genus (Squamata: Ophidia: Viperidae) Body Pattern Design in Iran
Three families of venomous snakes exist in Iran including Viperidae, Elapidae, and Hydrophidae. Viperidae family is the only family with a widespread distribution. Saw-scaled vipers are important poisonous snakes in Asia and Africa. This name is given to this snake due to the presence of obliquely keeled and serrated lateral body scales. Distribution of this genera is mostly reported in t...
متن کاملThe Agent Pattern: A Design Pattern for Dynamic and Distributed Applications
This paper presents the Agent pattern, a design pattern useful to develop dynamic and distributed applications. The Agent pattern provides a clean and easy way to develop agent-based applications, mainly in open and large-scale distributed environments such as the Internet and application areas such as Electronic Commerce. The Agent pattern encapsulates a business specific class (a specializati...
