Abstract:

We describe the architecture and performance of autonomous agents that play the complex, multi-faceted internet game called Netrek. To perform competently within Netrek, an agent must be capable of 1) reacting in real-time to arcade-like tasks and environment changes within the local surroundings, 2) reasoning about strategy and long-term tasks at a slower pace and on a global scale, and 3) coordinating both with teammates and against members of the opposing team. Agents capable of operating within the Netrek environment, therefore, require a reactive, flexible, multi-level framework. We describe in detail our current agent implementation, which is based upon the UMPRS (University of Michigan Procedural Reasoning System) architecture. As multi-agent coordination plays a significant role within the Netrek domain, we describe recent research in extending the current communication-based intra-team coordination scheme with a plan recognition scheme that enhances both intra- and inter-team ...
