Abstract

In this paper we present the results of the combined development of APOC and ADE, an architecture framework for the analysis, comparison, and design of agent architectures and a distributed agent development environment which implements APOC principles, respectively. We show how the APOC framework relates to other architectures and design methodologies and demonstrate how other architectures and architectural components can be combined in a single architecture through APOC. Next we describe the ADE development environment and highlight the implementation of APOC principles. We show how ADE gives users the freedom to seamlessly switch between single and multiple computer environments, serial and parallel execution, and robotic and virtual agents. Finally, we illustrate the features of ADE through a robotic agent example.
