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

  2. Discussion Topics 1. Participants in each TIE could get together to resolve technical issues • consensus • commiment 2. General Issues • TIEs visualization • There will be 3 TIEs conceptually connected through a story. • Functionality of agents • Agent activity • Debugging/history Katia Sycara

  3. General Issues (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 ProgrammingTOP 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 domian-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 “Addness 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 between two heterogeneous MAS 2. Functional substitutability of agents 3. “Agentification” of legacy systems 4. Adaptivity: • Interfaces • MAS organization • Single Agent 5. Collaboration • human-human • human-agent • MAS Katia Sycara

  12. Scientific Claims - TIE 3 1. Interoperability a. Structure of interop agent Protocols of interop agent b. Interop services of the Grid? 2. Functional Agent Substitutability a. Languages and protocols for capability advertisement b. Resolving mismatches of substitutable agent tasking and results 3. “Amplification” a. Is wrapping best way? Katia Sycara

  13. Scientific Claims - TIE 3 (continued) 4. Adaptivity/Robustness a. Adaptive interface to user resources Organizational adaptivity through middle agents 5. Collaboration a. Human-Agent • tasking of agents • functional role allocation MAS • dynamic team formation • tradeoffs of different organizational structures Katia Sycara

  14. 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
