Abstract

This paper presents a new architecture called FAIS for implementing intelligent agents cooperating in a special Multi Agent environment, namely the RoboCup Rescue Simulation System. This is a layered architecture which is customized for solving fire extinguishing problem. Structural decision making algorithms are combined with heuristic ones in this model, so it's a hybrid architecture.

Highlights

The RoboCup Rescue Simulation system makes a testbed for implementation of various Multi-Agent algorithms
Designing an autonomous agent set like the one that is required for RoboCup Rescue Simulation is a little bit more of a challenge
Practical results in complicated domains such as RoboCup Rescue Simulation indicate that heuristic criteria still remain as a major part of a successful system[11]

Summary

Introduction

The RoboCup Rescue Simulation system makes a testbed for implementation of various Multi-Agent algorithms. Its capabilities cover a wide range of possible styles of algorithms. It is a standard environment for testing different techniques of making standard software agents with distributed architecture[10]. Efforts of Multi-Agent researchers have provided somewhat of a standard in modeling and designing software. Practical results in complicated domains such as RoboCup Rescue Simulation indicate that heuristic criteria still remain as a major part of a successful system[11]. This may signal lack of satisfactory models for these complicated situations.
