  1. DARPA CoABS WorkshopLas Vegas, NV.Final Group 1 (TIE) BriefingCoordinator: Katia SycaraJanuary 29, 1999

  2. Group Results 1. Participants in each TIE got together to resolve technical issues • There will be 3 TIEs conceptually connected through a story. • consensus • commitment 2. Participants discussed • Visualization of multi-agent interactions in the TIEs • Functionality of agents • Agent activity • Debugging/history Katia Sycara

  3. Group Results (continued) 3. Interaction of TIEs and GRID 4. Scientific Claims 5. Procedural Issues Katia Sycara

  4. GRID 1. Agreed with current view of GRID design of GITI/ISX of bottom up 2. Services eg. Interoperability agent RETSINA matchmaker OAA facilitator Katia Sycara

  5. GRID (continued) Other Useful Services for TIEs • translation • visualization • support for different types of simulators • networking infrastructure • language/tools for best use of GRID services • service description languages Katia Sycara

  6. Summary of Scientific Claims TIE 1 - “Helo Evac” Key Questions 1. Can multi-agents be programmed at the team-level? (Team-Oriented Programming) 2. What are the key requirements for ACLs in team setting? 3. What are the key requirements for distributed monitoring & diagnosis to provide (guaranteed) robustness? Katia Sycara

  7. Team-Oriented Programming(TOP) Short-Term Goals (March) • Can TIE team be programmed by: • Organization Hierarchy • Team Procedures • Current team goals and plans • Automated coordination via TEAMCORE? Long-Term Goals • Extract general principles of “TOP” and build tools to facilitate “TOP” Katia Sycara

  8. Distributed Monitoring, Diagnosis & Recovery Short-Term Goals (March) • Explore appropriateness of existing techniques in TEAMCORE for distributed monitoring, diagnosis & recovery • Build primitives for TEAMCORE agents to monitor domain-level agents • Compile logs of failures Long-Term Goals • Extract general principles from compiled logs, add to existing TEAMCORE techniques Katia Sycara

  9. ACLs for TEAMs Short-Term Goals (March) • Explore shortcomings of existing ACLs for TEAMWORK • Explore interoperation of OAA (Quickset) & TEAMCORE (KQML) Long-Term • Investigate efficiency of semantics of ACL (particularly for teamwork) • Development of semantic interpretation bridge between TEAMCORE and OAA Katia Sycara

  10. Scientific Claims Technical ChallengesTIE 2 1. Coherent Communication • Webtrader brokers information sources Adriadne dynamically incorporates request “Address in Kuwait for conference attendees” • Multiple translators glued together speech (MMM)  ML Menus 2. Control • Planner controls multiple simulated physical agents • Planner responds to outside events • Posting goals 3. Human in the loop Katia Sycara

  11. Scientific Claims Technical ChallengesTIE 3 1. Coherent communication of meaning between two heterogeneous MAS 2. Functional substitutability of agents 3. “Agentification” of legacy systems 4. Adaptivity at different levels: • Interfaces • MAS organization • Single Agent 5. Collaboration • human-human • human-agent • MAS Katia Sycara

  12. Scientific Claims - TIE 3 1. Coherent Communication of Meaning Short-Term Goals • Structure of interop agent • Protocols of interop agent Long-Term Goals • Interoperation services for the GRID? • ACL’s for the GRID 2. Functional Agent Substitutability Short-Term Goals • Provide languages and protocols for capability advertisement Long-Term Goals • Mechanisms for resolving mismatches of substitutable agent tasking and results Katia Sycara

  13. Scientific Claims - TIE 3 (continued) 3. “Agentification” of legacy systems Short-Term Goals • Providing wrapping mechanisms Long-Term Goals • Explore different mechanisms for agentification 4. Adaptivity/Robustness Short-Term Goals • Adaptive interface to user resources • Organizational adaptivity through middle agents Long-Term Goals • Explore additional mechanisms for organizational adaptivity Katia Sycara

  14. Scientific Claims - TIE 3 (continued) 5. Collaboration • Human-Agent Short-Term Goals • Giving tasks to agents Long-Term Goals • Principles for functional role allocation between human and agent • MAS Short-Term Goals • dynamic team formation Long-Term Goals • tradeoffs of different organizational structures (eg. Teams, hierarchies, heterarchies) Katia Sycara

  15. Procedural Issues 1. Increase frequency of telecons to 1 per week 2. Build Ties at GITI/ISX • set and commit to a date • install components • meet to rehearse • clarify audience Katia Sycara
