Abstract:
Tapir is a general purpose, semi-declarative agent control language that extends and enhances the Hierarchical Agent Control (HAC) architecture [1]. Tapir incorporates the lessons learned from developing HAC and makes it easier and faster to create reusable and understandable actions. Tapir has been used in a battalion level war-game simulation, a robot simulator, a simulation of cellular dynamics and a simulation of rodent behavior. The language is built around constructs that define agents, sensors, actions, and messages. It has mechanisms for handling multiple agents, a flexible resource model, and multiple means for structuring concurrent actions. This paper provides an overview of HAC and its shortcomings and then explains how Tapir extends and improves upon it. 1.
