Title: A Generic Agent Architecture for Multiagent Systems
Author: José M Vidal and Paul Buhler
Institution: University of South Carolina
Year: 2001
Abstract: We introduce the Generic Agent Architecture (GAA) along with Biter---an implementation of our GAA for the RoboCup domain. The GAA incorporates an elegant object-oriented design meant to handle the type of activities typical for an agent in a multiagent system. These activities include reactive responses, long-term behaviors, and conversations with other agents. We also show how small modifications in the GAA implementation can lead to a subsumption agent or to a BDI agent. Finally, we present our Biter implementation as a proof of concept and use it to illustrate the added functionality that a user of the GAA must implement in a specific domain in order to utilize our GAA.
