Protocol-Based Communication for Situated Multi-Agent Systems
- In this paper we introduce a model for direct communication in situated multi-agent systems. Direct communication is typically associated with cognitive agents, where the information encoded in the messages is related to a mental state. This generally assumed view on communication however, does not

A Model for Active Perception in Situated Multi-agent Systems
- In this paper we present a generic model for active perception in situated multi-agent systems. Active perception enables an agent to direct its perception at the most relevant aspects in the environment according to its current task. The model decomposes perception into three functionalities: s

Combining Adaptive Behavior and Role Modeling with Statecharts
- Engineering non-trivial open multi-agent systems is a challenging task. Our research focusses on situated multiagent systems, i.e. systems in which agents are explicitly placed in a context -- an environment -- which agents can perceive and in which they can act. Two concerns are essential in develo

An agent design method promoting separation between computation and coordination
- The development of (internet) agents is often a tedious and error-prone task resulting in poorly reusable designs, since both the internal computation of the agent as well as the coordination support are developed in an ad hoc fashion. To improve the process of agent-oriented software development, w

A design process for adaptive behavior of situated agents
- Abstract. Engineering non-trivial open multi-agent systems is a challenging task. Our research focusses on situated multi-agent systems, i.e. systems in which agents are explicitly placed in an environment which agents can perceive and in which they can act. Situated agents do not use long-term plan

Agent Implementation Patterns
- Our own experience in developing agents and multiagent systems painfully taught us that there are no instruments to support the implementation of such systems. A thorough literature study confirms the fact that implementation issues, which are definitely non-trivial but clearly underestimated, are m

Designing Roles for Situated Agents
- Engineering non-trivial open multi-agent systems is a challenging task. Our research focusses on situated multi-agent systems, i.e. systems in which agents are explicitly placed in an environment which agents can perceive and in which they can act. Situated agents do not use long-term planning t

Celestijnenlaan 200A – B-3001 Heverlee (Belgium) Delta framework cookbook
- The Delta framework was built to help software developers to develop situated multi-agent systems. This framework is based on the reference-architecture for situated multi-agent systems that was developed by the AgentWise taskforce at DistriNet labs, K.U.Leuven. The Delta framework can be used for v

A Nested Layered Threshold Model for Dynamic Task Allocation With Ants
- Dynamic task allocation is an essential aspect in modelling ant behaviour. In this paper, we propose a new (abstract) model for dynamic task allocation of agents that combines a nested layered architecture with a threshold mechanism. We apply this new model to achieve flexible ant behaviour. This se

Ant Algorithms in a Graph Environment: a Meta-scheme for Coordination and Control
- Ant algorithms already demonstrated their usefulness [2-7, 14] in today's multi-agent systems. This paper introduces a meta-scheme describing a high-level behavior for ant agents in a graph environment. Application of this meta-scheme makes the ant agents repeatedly visit the nodes in the graph that
