The UMBC TAGA Demo • What we have developed and achieved • Travel Agent Game in Agentcities (TAGA) • A FIPA compliant agent framework that extends and enhances the Trading Agent Competition (TAC) • Project won the Best Student Entry in the Agentcities sponsored Agent Technology Competition held in Feb. 2003 in Barcelona • Our main contributions • Auction services are developed to enrich the Agentcities environment • The use of Semantic Web languages (RDF & DAML+OIL) improves agent interoperability • DAML-S ontology is employed to support service registration, discovery and invocation.
The TAGA Game and Players • Game Objective: develop strategies for different agents to achieve their objectives • Human players can choose to implement/play agents with different objectives:
