AoseDevKit2018

The AoseDevKit2018 framework has been implemented for the course of Agent Oriented Software Engineering at the University Of Trento (2018). Introductory slides on the framework are available in the doc folder in the AoseDevKit2018-MultiAgentSystem repository. The framework includes three repositories. In the case of bugs, let us know or fix them and do a pull request. Start exploring by looking at readme files of the projects in this order:

AoseDevKit2018-MultiAgentSystem

This project is the core and the development kit of the multi-agent system of the AoseDevKit2018 framework. It does not contains any implementations of goal or intention.

Hare a brief description of the main classes and packages:

• unitn.adk2018.Agent is the base class of any agent, and provides the following methods:
  • timer management:
    • long getAgentTime ()
    • void setPauseState ( boolean doPause )
    • boolean isPaused ()
    • boolean rescheduleTimer(Observer o, long when)
    • boolean removeFromScheduledTimers(Observer o)
  • agent configuration
    • getName ()
    • boolean addSupportedEvent ( Class event, Class handler )
  • goals and messages sumbission
    • boolean pushMessage ( Message msg )
    • boolean pushGoal ( Event goal, MaintenanceCondition _asLongAs )
  • scheduling of waiting intentions
    • boolean rescheduleIntention(ScheduledIntention si)
    • boolean removeFromScheduledIntentions(ScheduledIntention si)
  • execution
    • void startInSeparateThread()
• unitn.adk2018.Environment is the entry point, implemented using the singleton pattern, for everything in the simulation
  • PddlDomain
  • SystemTimer
  • Agents
  • EnvironmentAgent
  • Messages dispatcher
• unitn.adk2018.condition is the package that contains observers of different type of events from timeout to goal state. To be used in the implementation of intention, to implement wait for or wait until logics.
• unitn.adk2018.event.Goal .InformMessage .RequestMessage are the three base classes to be used in the development of goals and messages.
• unitn.adk2018.intention.Intention is the base class to be used in the development of intentions.
• unitn.adk2018.pddl is the package to that contains domain-independent pddl utility methods.
