Multi Agent System (MAS)


Many important computing applications such as planning, process control, robotics, communications networks and concurrent systems will benefit from using MAS approach. We are developing theoretical foundations and architecture for MAS based upon: commitment, planning, joint activities, conflict resolution and negotiations of critical importance is the language for the representation and manipulation of MAS and the reasoning mechanisms employed. A framework for a hybrid language (logic and object oriented) has been developed. The syntax and semantics of the language have been defined and we are currently investigating proof methods and executional models for MAS.
