AGENT AND MAS & PROGRAMMING
•
Four main related perspectives
– (D)AI perspective - abstractions & techniques for programming intelligent
systems
• individual components, systems of components
• agent and multi-agent programming languages & frameworks
– mobile systems - abstractions & techniques for programming mobile
computing systems
• mobile agents migrating through nodes of a network
– modeling and simulation perspective: abstractions for modelling and
simulating complex systems
• the starting point is a complex system to be modelled and simulated
– programming and SE perspective:abstractions & techniques for
programming modern concurrent and distributed systems
• agents as follow-up of objects, concurrent objects and actors

AVAILABLE EXPLORATIONS AND
PROJECTS
•
•
Using Jason and JaCaMo
– as reference models and technologies for the design and
development of real-world intelligent systems
– integrating AI-techniques when necessary
Explorations
– design and programming mirror worlds
• see MW slides
– embedded systems and robot programming
– programming bots in games

AVAILABLE EXPLORATIONS AND
PROJECTS
•
•
Exploring the use of ALOO abstractions and technology in some
relevant domain and real-world problems
– concurrent apps, mobile app, web app
• comparison with actor-based approaches
– Internet-of-Things & embedded
• agent programming on Arduino and RaspberryPi
– including mirror worlds
Joining research on ALOO model & technology
– contributing to ALOO platform
• based on Eclipse/Xtext toolchain
• libraries for OS and high-level functionalities
– tackling open research issues, e.g:
• mechanisms for reuse
• finalising the complete integration with objects and functions
