Rural landscape character is the common thread of regional and local urban planning in France, and it has two notablefeatures of protecting natural ecology and protecting historical culture in terms of policy direction. Central-regional decentralization has given full play to the dual advantages of "top-level guidance of the national system" and "horizontal cooperation of local autonomy". The central government has effectively conveyed the national will in strictly adhering to the bottom line of ecology, history, and culture through landscape legislation, accreditation and review system, and developed a series of mature planning management tools. Through alliances and agreement relationships, local governments form joint forces in planning target recognition, resource integration, and action coordination. The special planning of landscape character presents a variety of flexible relationships to main planning, forming an effective supplement to it, and finally leads to clear and specific implementation actions and control regulations. The concept, the approach, and the planning control of rural landscape protection in France can provide references for related work in China.乡村规划;景观风貌规划;城市规划;法国rural planning; landscape character planning; urban planning; France摘 要Abstract 关 键 词Key words 作者简介李振燊广州市城市规划设计有限公司 规划研究所规划师,硕士黄 莹广州市城市规划勘测设计研究院 城市更新所规划师,硕士黎均文广州市城市规划设计有限公司 规划研究所所长,高级工程师乡村景观风貌既包括体现乡村历史遗产、社会人文特征的“风”,也包括体现自然生态格局、农业生产、城镇建设等物质空间的“貌”,是人文景观与自然景观的统一体,高品质的景观风貌是乡村振兴的必然要求。

Advanced Mathematical Modeling Techniques

Advanced Mathematical Modeling Techniques

Advanced Mathematical ModelingTechniquesIn the realm of scientific inquiry and problem-solving, the application of advanced mathematical modeling techniques stands as a beacon of innovation and precision. From predicting the behavior of complex systems to optimizing processes in various fields, these techniques serve as invaluable tools for researchers, engineers, and decision-makers alike. In this discourse, we delve into the intricacies of advanced mathematical modeling techniques, exploring their principles, applications, and significance in modern society.At the core of advanced mathematical modeling lies the fusion of mathematical theory with computational algorithms, enabling the representation and analysis of intricate real-world phenomena. One of the fundamental techniques embraced in this domain is differential equations, serving as the mathematical language for describing change and dynamical systems. Whether in physics, engineering, biology, or economics, differential equations offer a powerful framework for understanding the evolution of variables over time. From classical ordinary differential equations (ODEs) to their more complex counterparts, such as partial differential equations (PDEs), researchers leverage these tools to unravel the dynamics of phenomena ranging from population growth to fluid flow.Beyond differential equations, advanced mathematical modeling encompasses a plethora of techniques tailored to specific applications. Among these, optimization theory emerges as a cornerstone, providing methodologies to identify optimal solutions amidst a multitude of possible choices. Whether in logistics, finance, or engineering design, optimization techniques enable the efficient allocation of resources, the maximization of profits, or the minimization of costs. From linear programming to nonlinear optimization and evolutionary algorithms, these methods empower decision-makers to navigate complex decision landscapes and achieve desired outcomes.Furthermore, stochastic processes constitute another vital aspect of advanced mathematical modeling, accounting for randomness and uncertainty in real-world systems. From Markov chains to stochastic differential equations, these techniques capture the probabilistic nature of phenomena, offering insights into risk assessment, financial modeling, and dynamic systems subjected to random fluctuations. By integrating probabilistic elements into mathematical models, researchers gain a deeper understanding of uncertainty's impact on outcomes, facilitating informed decision-making and risk management strategies.The advent of computational power has revolutionized the landscape of advanced mathematical modeling, enabling the simulation and analysis of increasingly complex systems. Numerical methods play a pivotal role in this paradigm, providing algorithms for approximating solutions to mathematical problems that defy analytical treatment. Finite element methods, finite difference methods, and Monte Carlo simulations are but a few examples of numerical techniques employed to tackle problems spanning from structural analysis to option pricing. Through iterative computation and algorithmic refinement, these methods empower researchers to explore phenomena with unprecedented depth and accuracy.Moreover, the interdisciplinary nature of advanced mathematical modeling fosters synergies across diverse fields, catalyzing innovation and breakthroughs. Machine learning and data-driven modeling, for instance, have emerged as formidable allies in deciphering complex patterns and extracting insights from vast datasets. Whether in predictive modeling, pattern recognition, or decision support systems, machine learning algorithms leverage statistical techniques to uncover hidden structures and relationships, driving advancements in fields as diverse as healthcare, finance, and autonomous systems.The application domains of advanced mathematical modeling techniques are as diverse as they are far-reaching. In the realm of healthcare, mathematical models underpin epidemiological studies, aiding in the understanding and mitigation of infectious diseases. From compartmental models like the SIR model to agent-based simulations, these tools inform public health policies and intervention strategies, guiding efforts to combat pandemics and safeguard populations.In the domain of climate science, mathematical models serve as indispensable tools for understanding Earth's complex climate system and projecting future trends. Coupling atmospheric, oceanic, and cryospheric models, researchers simulate the dynamics of climate variables, offering insights into phenomena such as global warming, sea-level rise, and extreme weather events. By integrating observational data and physical principles, these models enhance our understanding of climate dynamics, informing mitigation and adaptation strategies to address the challenges of climate change.Furthermore, in the realm of finance, mathematical modeling techniques underpin the pricing of financial instruments, the management of investment portfolios, and the assessment of risk. From option pricing models rooted in stochastic calculus to portfolio optimization techniques grounded in optimization theory, these tools empower financial institutions to make informed decisions in a volatile and uncertain market environment. By quantifying risk and return profiles, mathematical models facilitate the allocation of capital, the hedging of riskexposures, and the management of investment strategies, thereby contributing to financial stability and resilience.In conclusion, advanced mathematical modeling techniques represent a cornerstone of modern science and engineering, providing powerful tools for understanding, predicting, and optimizing complex systems. From differential equations to optimization theory, from stochastic processes to machine learning, these techniques enable researchers and practitioners to tackle a myriad of challenges across diverse domains. As computational capabilities continue to advance and interdisciplinary collaborations flourish, the potential for innovation and discovery in the realm of mathematical modeling knows no bounds. By harnessing the power of mathematics, computation, and data, we embark on a journey of exploration and insight, unraveling the mysteries of the universe and shaping the world of tomorrow.。

Plays as Team Plans for Coordination and Adaptation Content Areas multiagent systems, robot

Plays as Team Plans for Coordination and Adaptation Content Areas:multiagent systems,robotics,adaptive systemsAbstractCoordinated action for a team of robots is a chal-lenging problem,especially in dynamic,unpre-dictable environments.We examine this problemin the context of robot soccer,a complex domainwith multiple teams of robots in an adversarial set-ting.The adversarial nature creates a great dealof uncertainty,in both the opponent’s behaviorand capabilities.Traditional approaches focus onbuilding reactive systems that use simple or evencomplex evaluation procedures for selecting teamand individual robot actions given the state of theworld.We introduce the concept of a play as ateam plan,combining both reactive and delibera-tive principles.We introduce the concept of a play-book as a method for seamlessly combining manydifferent team plans.The playbook provides a setof alternative team behaviors,and is the basis forour third contribution of play adaptation.We de-scribe how these concepts were concretely imple-mented in the CMDragons robot soccer team,thefirst RoboCup robot team to adapt to its opponentduring the game.We also show empirical results ofthe importance of adaptation in adversarial or otherunpredictable environments.1IntroductionCoordination and adaptation are two of the most critical chal-lenges for deploying teams of robots to perform useful tasks. These challenges become especially difficult in environments involving other agents,particularly adversarial ones,not un-der the team’s control.In this paper,we examine these chal-lenges within the context of robot soccer[Noda et al.,1998], a multi-robot goal-driven task in an adversarial environment. The robot soccer task is goal-driven and highly dynamic.The presence of adversaries creates significant uncertainty for pre-dicting the outcome of interactions.This is particularly true if the opponent’s behavior and capabilities are unknown a pri-ori,as is the case in a robot soccer competition.As such,this task encapsulates many of the issues found in realistic multi-robot settings.Despite this unpredictability,most robot soccer approaches involve single,static,monolithic team strategies(e.g.,see robot team descriptions in[Birk et al.,2002].)Although these strategies entail complex combinations of reactive and delib-erative approaches,they can still perform poorly against un-known opponents or in unexpected situations.With the un-certainty present in the task,such situations are common. An alternative approach uses models of opponent behav-ior,constructed either before or during the competition[In-tille and Bobick,1999],and then determine the best team response.The model may be used in a reactive fashion to trigger a pre-coded static strategy,or in a deliberative fash-ion through the use of a planner[Riley and Veloso,2002]. Although these techniques have had success,they have limi-tations such as the requirement for an adequate representation of opponent behavior.For a completely unknown opponent team,a prior model of their strategy is impractical.Here,we take a novel approach based on observing our own team’s effectiveness rather than observing the opponent. We replace a single monolithic team strategy,with multiple team plans that are appropriate for different opponents and situations,which we call plays.Each play defines a coordi-nated sequence of team behavior,and is explicit enough to facilitate evaluation of that play’s execution.A playbook en-capsulates the plays that a team can use.Each execution of a play from the playbook can then be evaluated and this infor-mation collected for future play selection.Successful plays, which may be due to weaknesses in the opponent or particular strengths of our team,are selected more often,while unsuc-cessful plays are ignored.In Section2,we overview our CMDragons’02robot soccer team and the role of plays in the team’s decision making.We then,in Section3,describe plays and the play execution sys-tem in detail.In Section4we describe play adaptation with empirical results demonstrating its importance and effective-ness,and then conclude.2OverviewIn this section,we briefly describe our CMDragons’02robot soccer team,the basis for the work explored in this paper. This overview focuses on how the strategy system,described in Section3,interacts with the system as a whole.The CMDragons are a team of small-size league(SSL) soccer robots that participated at RoboCup2002.SSL robot soccer,part of the RoboCup initiative[Noda et al.,1998], consists of two teams offive robots that play soccer withFigure1:Overview of the CMDragons’02team architecture. an orange golf-ball on a2.8m by2.3mfield surrounded by short,sloped walls using FIFA-like rules enforced by a hu-man referee.Robots must conform to size and shape speci-fications,but no standard platforms exist.SSL is character-ized by the allowance of cameras mounted above thefield for shared global perception and additional off-field computation resources making a team as a whole autonomous rather than individual robots.SSL robots are typically fast,cruising at speeds of1–2m/s while the ball moves at over2m/s,and oc-casionally much faster.This makes SSL an environment that requires fast response,good long-term strategy,strong indi-vidual robot skills and capable multi-robot coordination,for a team to be successful.Figure1shows the major components of the CMDragons system.The control loop,synchronized with image frames at30Hz,consists of taking an image from the camera via the framegrabber and processing it,determining the control for each robot on the team,and sending these velocity commands using radio communication to the robots.Each robot operates local servo loops to enact its commands.Due to space limi-tations,we refer the reader to our earlier works[Bruce et al., 2002]and[Bruce and Veloso,2002],to describe the system in more detail.Instead,we focus on the tactics and strategy layers of the control software.The tactics and strategy layers,the shaded regions in Fig-ure1,make up the bulk of the system.The tactics layer,en-compasses indvidual robot skills.For each frame,each robot executes a single tactic independently of the others.The strat-egy layer provides the coordination mechanism and executes one instance for the entire team.Thus,the strategy layer must meld individual robot skills into powerful and adaptable team behavior.Here we focus on tactics,leaving discussion of strategy to the remainder of the paper.Tactics are defined to be any behavior executable by a sin-gle robot.Table1shows the list of implemented tactics.Each tactic is highly parameterized and performs a complex,single robot task that itself may consist of many sub-components. Each tactic makes use of the robot control layer that main-tains robot specific information persistent even after a robot’s tactic changes.The layer transforms tactic commands into target points for navigation.The navigation layer produces short term,obstacle free,waypoints for the motion control system using a fast randomized planner.These waypoints are used by the motion control module to generate the actual ve-locity commands sent to the robot.A tactic,therefore,is a complex interaction between low-levels of navigation and motion control and higher-level skill-based code.For example,consider the posi-tion for deflection tactic.The tactic itself deter-mines the best location within a region for deflecting passes into the goal.This requires sampling points over the region and evaluating the deflection angles using a deflection heuris-tic.The best evaluated point is then fed into the navigation layer and in turn to the motion control layer to generate the actual commands necessary to drive the robot to the calcu-lated position.3Play-Based StrategyThe main question addressed in this work is:“Given a set of effective and parameterized individual robot behaviors, how do we select each robot’s behavior to achieve the team’s goals?”This is the problem addressed by our strategy com-ponent,which is diagrammed by the left-most shaded com-ponents of Figure1.Our team strategy utilizes the concept of a play as a team plan with multiple plays collected into a playbook.3.1GoalsThe main criterion for team strategy is performance.A single, static,monolithic team strategy that maximizes performance, though,is impractical.Indeed,in an adversarial domain with an unknown opponent,a single optimal strategy is unlikely to exist.Therefore we have broken down the performance crite-rion into easier to achieve subgoals.The goals of a strategy system are:1.Coordinates team behavior,2.Executes temporally extended sequences of action,3.Allows for special behavior for certain circumstances,4.Allows ease of human design and augmentation,5.Enables exploitation of short-lived opportunities,and6.Allows on-line adaptation to the specific opponent. Thefirst four goals require plays to be able to express complex,coordinated,and sequenced behavior among team-mates.In addition,plays must be human readable to make strategy design and modification simple.These goals also re-quires a powerful system capable of executing the complex behaviors the play describes.Thefifth goal requires the exe-cution system to also recognize and exploit opportunities that are not explicitly described by the current play.Finally,the sixth goal requires the system to alter its behavior over time. Notice that these goals,although critical to the robot soc-cer task,are also of general importance for the coordination of agent teams in other unpredictable or adversarial environ-ments.We have developed a play-based team strategy,using a specialized play language,to meet these goals.In the fol-lowing sections,we will describe the three major components of the play-based strategy engine:play specification using the play language,the play execution system,and the playbookActive Tactics Non-active Tacticsshoot(Aim|Noaim|Deflect role ) steal[ coordinate ]clearactive def[ coordinate ]pass roledribble to shoot regiondribble to region regionspin to region regionreceive passreceive deflectiondribble to position coordinate theta position for start coordinate theta position for kickposition for penaltycharge ball position for loose ball regionposition for rebound regionposition for pass regionposition for deflection regiondefend line p1 p2 min-dist max-distdefend point p1 min-dist max-distdefend lane p1 p2block min-dist max-dist side-prefmark orole (ball|our goal|their goal|shot) goaliestopvelocity vx vy vthetaposition coordinate thetaTable1:List of tactics along with their parameters. adaptation mechanism used to autonomously alter team strat-egy to a specific opponent during a competition.3.2Play SpecificationPlays are specified using the play language,which is in an easy-to-read text format(e.g.,Tables2and4).Plays use key-words,denoted by all capital letters,to mark different pieces of information.Each play has two components:basic infor-mation and role information.The basic information describes when a play can be executed(“APPLICABLE”),when exe-cution of the play should stop(“DONE”),and some execution details(e.g.,“FIXEDROLES”,“TIMEOUT”,and“OROLE”). The role information(“ROLE”)describes how the play is ex-ecuted,making use of the tactics described above(see Sec-tion2).We describe these keywords below. Applicability.The APPLICABLE keyword denotes when a play can be executed.What follows the keyword is a con-junction of high-level predicates that all must be true for the play to be considered executable.Multiple APPLICABLE keywords can be used to denote different disjunctive condi-tions for when the play may be executed.This allows plays to effectively specify when they can be executed as a logical DNF of high-level predicates.In the example play in Table2, the play can only be executed when the offense predicate is true.The offense predicate is a complex combination of the present and past possession of the ball and itsfield posi-tion.Predicates are easily added and Table3lists the predi-cates in use in our system.A play’s applicability condition is very similar to an opera-tor’s preconditions in classical planning.By constraining the applicability of a play we can design special purpose plays for very specific circumstances.Table4shows an example play that uses the in their corner predicate to constrain the play to execute only when the ball is in one of the opponent’s corners.The play explicitly involves dribbling the ball out of the corner to get a better angle for a shot on goal. Termination.Unlike classical planning,the level of uncer-tainty in this task makes it difficult to predict the outcome of a particular plan.Although,a play does not have ef-fects,it does have termination conditions.Termination condi-PLAY Two Attackers,PassAPPLICABLE offenseDONE aborted!offenseOROLE0closest_to_ballROLE1pass3mark0from_shotnoneROLE2block320900-1noneROLE3position_for_pass{R{B10000}...receive_passshoot AnoneROLE4defend_line{-14001150}...noneTable2:A complex play involving sequencing of behaviors.offensedefensetheir ballour ballloose balltheir sideour sidemidfieldin our cornerin their cornernopponents our side Nour kickofftheir kickoffour freekicktheir freekickour penaltytheir penaltyball x gt Xball x lt Yball absy gt Yball absy lt YTable3:List of high-level predicates.PLAY Two Attackers,Corner Dribble1APPLICABLE offense in_their_cornerDONE aborted!offenseTIMEOUT15ROLE1dribble_to_shoot{R{B1100800}...shoot AnoneROLE2block320900-1noneROLE3position_for_pass{R{B10000}...noneROLE4defend_line{-14001150}...noneTable4:A special purpose play that is only executed when the ball is in an offensive corner of thefield.tions are specified by the keyword DONE followed by a result (e.g.,aborted)and a conjunctive list of high-level predi-cates similar to the applicability conditions.Plays may have multiple DONE conditions,each with a different result,and a different conjunct of predicates.Whenever one of these DONE conditions are satisfied the play is terminated,and a new play must be selected.In the example play in Table2, the only terminating condition is if the team is no longer on offense.In this case the play’s result is considered to have been aborted.The results for plays are:succeeded,completed, aborted,and failed.These results are used to evalu-ate the success of the play for the purposes of reselecting the play later.This is the major input to the play adaptation sys-tem which we describe in the next section.There are two other ways in which plays can be terminated. Thefirst is when the sequence of behaviors defined by the play are completed,which is described with the play ex-ecution system below.The second occurs when a play runs for too long without terminating.The timeout causes the play to terminate with an aborted result and a new play is se-lected.Thus,the team commits to a course of action,but if no progress is made due to unforseen circumstances,another approach will be tried.The timeout period has a team config-urable default value,however,a play may use the TIMEOUT keyword to override this default timeout limit(e.g.Table4). Roles.Roles are the active component of each play,and each play has four roles corresponding to the non-goalie robots on thefield.Each role contains a list of tactics(also called behaviors)with associated parameters for the robot to perform in sequence.As tactics are heavily parameterized, the range of tactics can be combined into nearly an infinite number of play possibilities.Table4shows an example play where thefirst role executes two sequenced tactics.First the robot dribbles the ball out of the corner and then switches to the shooting behavior.Meanwhile the other roles execute a single behavior for the play’s duration.Sequencing implies an enforced synchronization,or coor-dination between roles.Once a tactic completes,all roles move to their next behavior in their sequence(if one is de-fined).Thus,in the example in Table2,when the player as-signed to pass the ball completes the pass,then it will switch to the mark behavior.The receiver of the pass will simulta-neously switch to receive the pass,after which it will try to execute the shooting tactic.Opponent Roles.Some behaviors are dependent on the po-sitions of specific opponents on thefield.Opponent roles are used to identify a specific opponent based on an evaluation method for the tactic to use.The example in Table2,shows an opponent role defined using the OROLE keyword and the closest to ball method.Thus,thefirst role will try to mark the opponent closest to the ball away from the ensuing shot,after executing the pass.Coordinate Systems.Parameters for tactics are also very general by allowing for a variety of coordinate systems in specifying points and regions on thefield.Coordinates may be specified as absolutefield positions or ball relativefield positions.In addition,a coordinate system’s positive y-axis can be oriented to point towards the side of thefield that the ball is on,the side offield the majority of the opponents are on,or even a careful combination of these two factors.This allows tremendousflexibility in the specification of the be-haviors used in plays and prevents unecessary duplication of plays for symmetricfield situtations.3.3Play ExecutionThe play execution module is responsible for instantiating the active play into actual robot behavior.Instantiation consists of many key decisions:role assignment,role switching,se-quencing tactics,opportunistic behavior,and termination. Role assignment is dynamic,rather than beingfixed,and is determined by uses tactic-specific methods.To prevent con-flicts,assignment is prioritized by the order in which roles appear.Thus,thefirst role,which usually involves ball ma-nipulation,is assignedfirst and considers all fourfield robots. The next role is assigned to one of the remaining robots,and so on.The prioritization provides the execution system the knowledge to select the best robots to perform each role and also provides the basis for role switching.Role switching is a very effective technique for exploiting changes in the envi-ronment that alter the effectiveness of robots fulfilling roles. The executor continuously reexamines the role assignment for possible opportunities to improve it as the environment changes.Although,it has a strong bias toward maintaining the current assignment to avoid oscillation.Sequencing is needed to move the entire team through the list of tactics in sequence.When the tactic executed by the ac-tive player,the robot whose role specifies a tactic related to the ball(see Table1),succeeds then the play transitions each role to the next tactic in their relative sequence.Finally,op-portunistic behavior accounts for unexpected situations where a very basic action would have a valuable outcome.For ex-ample,the play executor evaluates the duration of time andpotential success of each robot shooting immediately.If a robot can shoot quickly enough and with a high likelihood of success,it will immediately switch its behavior to take ad-vantage of the situation.Thus,opportunistic behavior enables plays to have behavior beyond that specified explicitly.As a result,a play can encode a long sequence of complex behav-ior without encumbering its ability to respond to unexpected short-lived opportunities.Finally,the play executor checks the play’s termination cri-teria,the completion status of the tactics,and the incoming information from the referee.If thefinal active tactic in the play’s sequence of tactics completes then the play terminates as completed.If the game is stopped by the referee for a goal, penalty,or free kick,the play terminates.The outcome of the play depends upon the condition.Foals and penalty kicks result in a success or failure as appropriate.A free kick is results in a completion or an abortion as appropriate.3.4Play SelectionThefinal detail of the playbook strategy system is the mech-anism to select plays,and adapt that selection given experi-ence.Our basic selection scheme uses the applicability con-ditions for each play to form a candidate list of executable plays,from which one play is selected at random.To adapt play selection,we modify the probability of selecting a play using a weighting scheme.In the next section we describe this approach and present experimental results to demonstrate the usefulness of a playbook approach and evaluate the effec-tiveness of adaptation.4Playbook AdaptationPlaybook adaptation is the problem of adapting play selection based on past execution tofind the dominant play or plays for the given opponent.We perform this adaptation using the execution outcomes of past selected plays.In order to facili-tate the compiling of past outcomes into the selectin processwe associate with each play a weight,w pi∈[0,∞).Theseweights are then normalized over all the set of all applicable plays,A,to define a probability distribution,P r(selecting p i)=w pi p j∈A w p j.Playbook adaptation involves adjusting the selection weights given the outcome of a play’s execution.An adaptation rule is a mapping,W(w,p i,o)→[0,∞),from a weight vector,a selected play,and its outcome,to a new weight for that play. These new weights are then used to select the next play. There are a number of obvious properties for an adaptation rule.All things being equal,more successes or completions should increase the play’s weight.Similarly,aborts and fail-ures should decrease the weight.In order for adaptation to have any effect,it also must change weights drastically to make an impact within the short timespan of a single game. The basic rule that we implemented for the RoboCup2002 competition uses a weight multiplication rule,where each outcome multiplies the play’s previous weight by a constant. Specifically,the rule is,W(w,p i,o)=C o w pi ,where C o is the constant associated with the particular out-come.We nominally set these to,C succeeded=4C completed=4/3C aborted=3/4C failed=1/4.These weights capture the basic described properties above.4.1EvaluationOur strategy system was used effectively during RoboCup2002against a wide range of opponents with vastly differ-ent strategies and capabilities.Although effective,the natureof robot competitions prevent them from being a systematicevaluation in a controlled,scientific,or statistically signifi-cant way.Therefore,we have constructed a number of sim-plified scenarios to evalute our play system.These scenariosfirst compare whether multiple plays are actually necessary,and also examine the usefulness of playbook adaptation.The scenarios compare the effectiveness of four differentoffensive plays paired against three different defensive be-haviors.To simiplify evaluation,only two offensive robotswere used against one defensive robot.The robots start in theusual“kick off”position in the center of thefield.For eachscenario750trials were performed in our UberSim SSL simu-lator[Browning and Tryzelaar,2003].A trial was considereda success if the offense scored a goal within a20second timelimit,and a failure otherwise.Table5lists the specifics ofthe offensive plays and defensive behaviors.Thefirst two de-fensive behaviors,andfirst three offensive plays,formed thecore of the playbook used for RoboCup2002.Table6shows the play comparison results.Each trial isindependent,hence the maximum likeliheood estimate of theplay’s success probability is the ratio of successes to trials.Note that there is no static strategy that is optimal.The beststrategy depends upon the defensive behavior even in thissimplified scenario.In fact,each of the offensive plays isactually the optimal response for some distribution over de-fense behaviors.These differences are statistically significantwith95%confidence using binomial difference tests.Our results support the notion that play-based strategiesare capable of exhibiting many different behaviors with vary-ing degrees of effectiveness.For instance,against a“con-servative”blocking defense,the play where a robot takes thetime to align itself for a good shot performs the best.On theother hand,against more“agressive”defenses,the above playperforms poorly in comparison.Instead,the play where therobots take less time to aim while the assisting robot attemptsto set a screen for the shooter,ismore successful.To explore the effectiveness of playbook adaptation we usean offensive playbook for two robots with all four offensiveplays described above against afixed defender running eitherblock or active def.We initially used the algorithmabove,but discovered an imperfection in the approach.Dueto the strength of the reinforcement for a completed play,it ispossible for a moderately successful but non-dominant playto quickly dominate,and remain dominant,in weight.Thisphenomenon did not occur in competition due to the largerdisparity in plays against a given opponent and lower successprobabilities.The problem is that there is no normalization inthe weight adjustment for plays that have a higher selectionOffensive PlaysName Attacker1Attacker2Shoot1shoot Aim position for rebound Shoot2shoot NoAim position for rebound Screen1shoot Aim mark0from shot Screen2shoot NoAim mark0from shotDefensive Behaviorsblock Positions to block incoming shotsactive def Actively tries to steal ballbrick Defender does not moveTable5:List of offensive and defensive behaviors tested.Play block active def brickShoot172.3%49.7%99.5%Shoot266.7%57.3%43.1%Screen140.8%59.0%92.4%Screen249.2%66.0%72.0%Table6:Play comparison results.For each scenario,the per-centage of successes for the750trials is shown.The bold-faced number corresponds to the play with the highest per-centage of success for each defensive behavior. probability,which are updated more often.Therefore,we in-cluded a normalization factor in the weight updates.Specifi-cally,we used the following rule,W(w,p i,o)= w p i2/Pr(p i)if o=Succeededw piPr(p i)/2if o=Failed, where Pr(p i)is the probability assigned to p i according to w. To evaluate the performance,we compare the expected success rate(ESR)of using this adaptation rule against afixed defensive behavior.We used the results in Table6to simu-late the outcomes of the various play combinations.All the weights are initialized to1.Figure2(a)and(b)show the ESR for play adaptation over100trials,which is comparable to a length of a competition(approximately20minutes).The lower bound on the y-axis corresponds to the ESR of ran-domly selecting plays and the upper bound corresponds to the ESR of the playbook’s best play for the particular defense. Figure2(c)shows the probabilities of selecting each play over time when running the adaptation algorithm.Clearly,the al-gorithm very quickly favors the more successful plays. These results,combined with the RoboCup performances, demonstrate that adaptation can be a powerful tool for iden-tifying successful plays against unknown opponents.Note the contrast here between the use of adaptation to more com-mon machine learning approaches.We are not interested in convergence to an optimal control policy.Rather,given the short time limit of a game,we desire adaptation that achieves good results quickly enough to impact the game.Hence a fast,but non-optimal response is desired over a more optimal but longer acting approach.5ConclusionIn conclusion,we have introduced a novel team strategy en-gine based on the concept of a play as a team plan,which can be easily defined by a play language.Multiple,distinct plays0.570.7211000.580.661100(a)Success Rate v.Block(b)Success Rate v.Active11100Shoot 1Shoot 2Screen 2Screen 1(c)Expected Play Probabilties v.BlockFigure2:(a),(b)show ESR against block and active def, (c)shows expected play success probabilities against block.

multitasking debate阅读解析

multitasking debate阅读解析

Multitasking DebateMultitasking, the ability to handle multiple tasks simultaneously, has been a subject of debate among researchers and professionals alike. Some argue that multitasking is an essential skill in a fast-paced modern world, while others believe it leads to decreased productivity and reduced focus. In this article, I will explore both sides of the multitasking debate and present arguments for and against this practice.The Case for MultitaskingProponents of multitasking argue that it allows individuals to accomplish more in less time. They believe that by performing multiple tasks concurrently, they can maximize efficiency and productivity. Multitasking is often considered a necessary skill in today’s workplaces, where employees are expected to juggle multiple responsibilities and meet tight deadlines.Additionally, proponents point out that multitasking can foster creativity and innovation. By engaging in different activities simultaneously, individuals can make connections between seemingly unrelated concepts and generate new ideas. Multitasking is also seen as a way to enhance problem-solving skills, as it requires the ability to switch between different tasks and adapt to changing circumstances rapidly.Furthermore, multitasking advocates argue that technology has made multitasking a way of life. With the advent of smartphones and other digital devices, people have become accustomed to performing various tasks simultaneously. They argue that multitasking is a necessary adaptation to this fast-paced and interconnected digital environment.The Case against MultitaskingCritics of multitasking argue that it actually reduces productivity and impairs performance. They claim that constantly switching between tasks leads to interruptions, decreased focus, and an overall decline in the quality of work. Research has shown that multitasking can result in increased errors and decreased efficiency, as the brain takes time to refocus and readjust between different tasks.Moreover, opponents argue that multitasking can negatively impact mental health and well-being. It is believed to increase stress levels and contribute to burnout, as individuals constantly feel overwhelmed and pressured to handle multiple tasks simultaneously. Multitasking can also lead to a lack of work-life balance, as individuals struggle to disconnect from work and fully engage in personal activities.Additionally, critics claim that multitasking hinders deep thinking and cognitive processing. By dividing attention and focusing on multiple tasks at once, individualsfail to give their full concentration to any one task. This can limit creativity, problem-solving abilities, and critical thinking skills, as these processes require deep engagement and sustained focus.Finding a BalanceWhile the debate between multitasking advocates and opponents continues, research suggests that the key lies in finding a balance. It is important to recognize that not all tasks are suitable for multitasking and that some require undivided attention. By prioritizing and organizing tasks effectively, individuals can allocate dedicated time for focused work and separate it from more routine or less demanding activities.Furthermore, mindfulness and self-awareness play a crucial role in managing multitasking. Being mindful of one’s mental and emotional state, as well as recognizing when focus is diminishing, can help individuals make informed decisions about when and how to multitask.In conclusion, the multitasking debate is a complex and nuanced one. While there are potential benefits to multitasking, such as increased efficiency and creativity, it is essential to consider the drawbacks, including reduced productivity and impaired focus. Striking a balance between focused work and multitasking, as well as being self-aware of one’s m ental state, can lead to a more productive and fulfilling work-life experience.。

Figure 1: Matchmaking using Larks: An Overview A requester asks some middle agent whether it knows of providers with desired capabilities. The middle agent matches the request against the stored advertisements and returns the result, a subset of the stored advertisements. While this process at rst glance seems very simple, it is complicated by the fact that providers and requesters are usually heterogeneous and incapable of understanding each other. This di culty gives rise to the need for a common language for describing the capabilities and requests of software agents in a convenient way. In addition, one has to devise a mechanism for matching descriptions in that language. This mechanism can then be used by middle agents to e ciently select relevant agents for some given tasks. In the following, we rst describe the agent capability description language, Larks. Then we will discuss the matchmaking process using Larks and give a complete working scenario. The paper concludes with comparing our language and the matchmaking process with related works. We have implemented Larks and the associated powerful matchmaking process, and are currently incorporating it within our RETSINA multi-agent infrastructure framework 18].

多智能体博弈对抗场景 英语

多智能体博弈对抗场景 英语

多智能体博弈对抗场景英语In a multi-agent adversarial scenario, intelligent agents are pitted against each other in a competitive environment where they must make strategic decisions to outperform their opponents. This type of scenario is commonly found in games, financial markets, and cybersecurity.Intelligent agents in a multi-agent adversarial scenario rely on various techniques such as game theory, reinforcement learning, and evolutionary algorithms to make decisions. These techniques enable the agents to learn from their interactions with the environment and their opponents, and to adapt their strategies accordingly.One of the key challenges in a multi-agent adversarial scenario is the need for the agents to anticipate and respond to the actions of their opponents. This requires the agents to not only make decisions based on their own objectives, but also to take into account the potential actions of their opponents and the impact of those actions on the overall outcome.In a game setting, for example, intelligent agents may use techniques such as minimax search and Monte Carlo tree search to analyze the possible moves of their opponents and to choosethe best course of action. In financial markets, intelligent agents may use predictive modeling and risk analysis to anticipate the actions of other market participants and to optimize their trading strategies accordingly. In cybersecurity, intelligent agents may use anomaly detection and threat modeling to identify and respond to the actions of malicious actors.Overall, the ability of intelligent agents to effectively compete in a multi-agent adversarial scenario depends on their capacity to learn, adapt, and make strategic decisions based on their understanding of the environment and their opponents.在多智能体对抗场景中,智能体被置于一个竞争环境中,它们必须做出战略决策以超越对手。

多约束复杂环境下UAV航迹规划策略自学习方法

第47卷第5期Vol.47No.5计算机工程Computer Engineering2021年5月May2021多约束复杂环境下UAV航迹规划策略自学习方法邱月,郑柏通,蔡超(华中科技大学人工智能与自动化学院多谱信息处理技术国家级重点实验室,武汉430074)摘要:在多约束复杂环境下,多数无人飞行器(UAV)航迹规划方法无法从历史经验中获得先验知识,导致对多变的环境适应性较差。

提出一种基于深度强化学习的航迹规划策略自学习方法,利用飞行约束条件设计UAV的状态及动作模式,从搜索宽度和深度2个方面降低航迹规划搜索规模,基于航迹优化目标设计奖惩函数,利用由卷积神经网络引导的蒙特卡洛树搜索(MCTS)算法学习得到航迹规划策略。

仿真结果表明,该方法自学习得到的航迹规划策略具有泛化能力,相对未迭代训练的网络,该策略仅需17%的NN-MCTS仿真次数就可引导UAV在未知飞行环境中满足约束条件并安全无碰撞地到达目的地。

the robot to take actions for the purpose of gathering information, such as searching for a landmark or reading signs on the wall. In general, it will take actions that ful ll both purposes simultaneously.ຫໍສະໝຸດ 1 Introduction
In this paper, we bring techniques from operations research to bear on the problem of choosing optimal actions in partially observable stochastic domains. Problems like the one described above can be modeled as partially observable Markov decision processes pomdps. Of course, we are not interested only in problems of robot navigation. Similar problems come up in factory process control, oil exploration, transportation logistics, and a variety of other complex real-world situations. This is essentially a planning problem: given a complete and correct model of the world dynamics and a reward structure, nd an optimal way to behave. In the arti cial intelligence AI literature, a deterministic version of this problem has been addressed by adding knowledge preconditions to traditional planning systems 34 . Because we are interested in stochastic domains, however, we must depart from the traditional AI planning model. Rather than taking plans to be sequences of actions, which may only rarely execute as expected, we take them to be mappings from situations to actions that specify the agent's behavior no matter what may happen. In many cases, we may not want a full policy; methods for developing partial policies and conditional plans for completely observable domains are the subject of much current interest 13, 11, 22 . A weakness of the methods described in this paper is that they require the states of the world to be represented enumeratively, rather than through compositional representations such as Bayes nets or probabilistic operator descriptions. However, this work has served as a substrate for development of more complex and e cient representations 6 . Section 6 describes the relation between the present approach and prior research in more detail. One important facet of the pomdp approach is that there is no distinction drawn between actions taken to change the state of the world and actions taken to gain information. This is important because, in general, every action has both types of e ect. Stopping to ask questions may delay the robot's arrival at the goal or spend extra energy; moving forward may give the robot information that it is in a dead-end because of the resulting crash. Thus, from the pomdp perspective, optimal performance involves something akin to a value of information" calculation, only more complex; the agent chooses between actions that di er in the amount of information they provide, the amount of reward they produce, and how they change the state of the world. Much of the content of this paper is a recapitulation of work in the operations-research literature 28, 33, 48, 50, 54 . We have developed new ways of viewing the problem that are, perhaps, more consistent with the AI perspective; for example, we give a novel development of exact nite-horizon pomdp algorithms in terms of policy trees" instead of the classical algebraic approach 48 . We begin by introducing the theory of Markov decision processes mdps and pomdps. We then outline a novel algorithm for solving pomdps o line and show how, in some cases, a nite-memory controller can be extracted from the solution to a pomdp. We conclude with a brief discussion of related work and of approximation methods. 2

城市规划安排与准备英语辩论赛

城市规划安排与准备英语辩论赛

Urban planning is about the guidance and control of the urban development. It must evaluate the reality and foresee future development of the city. It must prepare for every possible problems that may occur, rather than arrangements.The difference between arrangement and preparative is the dimensionality(尺寸)of time . Preparative is to prepare for the possible direction of urban development, but arrangement is just to arrange the area where we will plan. So, preparative is more flexible(弹性,灵活),because it can provide more solutions and measures to deal with different situations that would possibly appear in the future.Urban planning should tend to prepare for future development of the city. It must make some preparatives for the city development. Generally speaking, a master planning usually covers 20 years, and a short one covers 5 years at least. If we just deal with the problems that occur today, but not to predicte that what problems will happen in the future and prepare for the problems, our urban planning will be a failure. Such as Guangzhou, whose road planning is an example of urban planning failures. We can see that people are removing roads which have just been built. not to mention widening a narrow road, or building a accessorial road when the form one is congested. But the result of these deeds has never been a solution of traffic jam. And this is just the result of not being prepared for the increase of traffic. Let’s check about the snowstorm last winter again, Southern cities’unpreparative for such a bad snowstorm led it caused the damage to the power grid. and the stoppage of railway and highway, they ignored(忽略)preparing for the major natural disasters but just considered the general winter climate of the south. That led to the lack of ability to deal with the snowstorm and caused the main loss.In society nowadays, in many ways we can see that urban planning should prepare for urban development.1, The growth of population and acceleration of urbanization. The urban planning must prepare for how to accommodate the large number of population.2, The housing crisis.For urban planning it is a big challenge. How can we solve the crisis, and prepare for future housing planning?3, The change of climate. The change of global climate will cause the change of urban planning. We must do preparative job for the city to adapt to the change of climate.J acobs has ever criticized the "garden city” by Howard, she said that he should not eliminate the interrelated,multi-cultural life of a city. Preparative should contain culture, history and the positioning research of the city. It is not the same as arrangements, which just use the classification and separation methods to deal with city function. Jacobs said that "a good planning is a goal planning”, it is not the proper arrangement for city function, but to prepare the conditions for the goal. Therefore, urban planning should play a role which prepare for the city's future.我方认为城市规划……城市规划的意义在于对城市发展的指导(偏向安排)和控制(偏向准备),它必须评估城市的现实状况,并预见城市的未来发展。

Often the software environment is dynamic with new tools being added as they become available and removed as they become obsolete or outdated. In today’s systems, the burden of coordinating the use of these disparate tools, remembering the correct sequence of commands, and incorporating new and modified programs into the daily work pattern lies with the user. This paper describes a multi-agent system, DALEKS, that assists users in utilizing diverse software tools for their everyday work. It manages work and information flow by providing a coordination layer that selects the appropriate tool(s) to use for each of the user’s tasks and automates the flow of information between them. This enables the user to be concerned more with what has to be done, rather than with the specifics of how to access tools and information. Here we describe the system architecture of DALEKS and illustrate it with an example in university course administration.KEYWORDSAgent architecture, software interoperabilityINTRODUCTIONThe day-to-day work of many people involves the use of a continually changing set of software tools. These may include general-purpose utilities designed to support work in many domains, such as word processors and spreadsheets, as well as special-purpose tools designed for the user’s problem domain. Currently the onus is on the user to manage workflow and determine how the different software tools work together to achieve an objective. We are developing a multi-agent system, DALEKS (“Distributed Agents Linking Existing Knowledge Sources”), that assists users by facilitating the interoperation of diverse and distributed software tools used by a person in his or her daily work.A software tool produces and/or consumes information, therefore, making two tools interoperate involves matching the information produced by one to the information consumed by the other. This matching process should work in an open environment where the set of tools available for use is constantly changing. A key issue to address is how to abstract away from the formats of information sources and the protocols used to access them (e.g., reading a file or getting information from a database) so that the system works in an environment where tools may be dynamically added or removed, and where these may produce information in differing formats. Our approach separates task selection (planning) from tool selection (matchmaking). Planning determines the tasks to be done to achieve the user’s objective and manages workflow, whereas matchmaking selects the tool to use to perform a task in the plan and manages information flow between the tasks.FacilitatorThis paper describes the DALEKS system architecture focussing on how planning, matchmaking, and execution are interleaved to help automate the user’s tasks.SYSTEM ARCHITECTUREDALEKS uses an extended version of the federation architecture used in previous research on Agent-Based Software Interoperability [Genesereth et al., 1995]. In the federation architecture, software tools and information servers are encapsulated as agents that receive and reply to requests for services and information. These agents use a declarative knowledge representation language, KIF (Knowledge Interchange Format), an inter-agent communication language, KQML (Knowledge Query and Manipulation Language), and a library of formal ontologies defining the vocabulary of various domains. A federated system of agents includes facilitators that receive messages and forward them to the most appropriate agent depending on the content of the message. A new tool is added to the system by providing it with a wrapper or a transducer and then registering it with the facilitator. A wrapper adds code to the tool itself to allow it to communicate with other agents using some agent communication language. A transducer is a separate piece of code that acts as an interface to the tool and translates messages in an agent communication language to the tool’s own communications protocol.Previous work [Cranefield and Purvis, 1995; 1997] has proposed extending the federation architecture to provide basic work and information flow by adding a specialized planning agent to automate the coordination of tools on behalf of the user and a user agent that acts as the interface between a user and the system. The DALEKS system builds on this work and investigates in more depth the mechanisms of planning and matchmaking required to support automated interoperation of tools in an open and extensible software environment.To demonstrate DALEKS a prototype for university course administration is being developed. In this domain, information processing and management tasks include the addition or deletion of students from the class roll, marking student assignments, changing marks when necessary, producing statistical summaries, etc. Information may be created, deleted, or modified at each stage of the process. At the University of Otago, these tasks are performed using a toolkit approach, whereby the course administrator uses a number of different tools to perform the tasks, some being general-purpose tools and others being specially written for work in this problem domain. Figure 1 shows the system architecture of the current prototype, where some agents run under Windows NT and others under Solaris. The system consists of custom-built facilitator and user agents and agent-encapsulated tools including a planner, utilities for manipulating text files, a DBMS, and a marking tool that enables a tutor to systematically find, run, and record marks for electronically submitted programming assignments. The figure also shows data, such as methods, plans, Uniform Resource Characteristics (URCs), and operator specifications, that are stored in the user and facilitator agents. Inter-agent communication is via KQML.Figure 1.

Before planning can be done, the user must provide the system with ontologies, operator specifications, and method definitions. This input, together with other information produced by DALEKS, is stored in different agents, as shown in Figure 1.Before using the DALEKS system, the user must create an ontology defining the vocabulary specific to the user’s domain. We believe that for many domains, simple representations such as relational data models will suffice [Cranefield and Purvis, 1995]. This domain ontology, together with other more generic ontologies, such as those describing common data formats, is stored in the facilitator.As part of the task of domain definition, the user must also define the generic actions that can be performed in the domain. An example for the university course administration domain is the mark action that generates marks for a given assignment for a set of students. These generic actions are specified by planning-style operator specifications [Cranefield et al., 1997] containing the name of the action, its pre- and post-conditions, and information about its information requirements and products expressed in terms of the domain ontology.In addition to these domain-specific actions, some operators corresponding to domain-independent actions are predefined in the DALEKS system. These include the retrieval and update of relations (specified by relational algebra expressions) stored in an information source.Tools to be used in a DALEKS system must also have one or more operators defined. Each operator describes a particular task that can be performed by the tool. An operator may specify how the tool can be used to achieve one of the generic tasks in the user’s domain, in which case its definition should be a specialization of the corresponding generic operator with additional information describing the formats and access protocols of its information requirements and products. In addition, tool operators may describe how the tool can be used for actions that are not domain-specific, such as text file transformation operations. In this case the operator specification is given in terms of some general-purpose ontology such as one describing text file formats. When a tool agent is added to the system, it advertises its capabilities to the facilitator by sending it messages that contain these operator specifications. The facilitator stores all the operator specifications of the currently available tool agents and these are used in the tool selection process. A graphical user interface will be developed to support non-expert users in these activities.By providing a task to plan for, the user triggers the planning process. The planning agent in DALEKS is based on hierarchical task network (HTN) planning [Erol et al., 1994], where a task hierarchy is developed using user-defined methods that describe possible ways of decomposing a task. In addition to methods, operator specifications must also be provided for primitive actions or tasks. Using this information, the planner determines the tasks and its ordering(s) that, when executed, accomplish the goal. We chose HTN planning because the intended users of DALEKS already have strategies for coordinating their tools, which are used to define the methods that expand the task hierarchy.Plans developed by the planner identify the tasks that have to be performed to achieve a goal. They do not include detailed information, such as which agent is to execute a primitive task, how it is to be executed, and what information flows between tasks in a plan. The resolution of these details is left as late as possible, when the task is about to be performed. This way, the current environment is taken into account when deciding how to execute a task.TOOL SELECTION: MATCHMAKINGWe use the matchmaking approach [Kuokka and Harada, 1995] to determine how the tasks in the plan are to be executed and to find potential information sharing paths between information providers and consumers. In matchmaking both consumers and providers play active roles; providers advertise their capabilities to the matchmaker and consumers send requests to the same matchmaker. The matchmaker matches advertisements to requests.Kuokka and Harada [1995] identify several modes of matchmaking that differ in the route information sharing takes. There is the recommend mode where the consumer asks the matchmaker to recommend a provider for a particular request, with the consumer directly communicating its request to the provider. In the recruit mode, the consumer asks the matchmaker to forward its request to the appropriate provider, with all replies going straight back to the consumer. In the broker mode, the matchmaker acts as an intermediary between the consumer and the provider, with the request and replies passing through the matchmaker. DALEKS mostly uses the recruit mode.In DALEKS the facilitator takes on the role of matchmaker. Agents that can perform tasks serve as providers and agents that request tasks to be done for them act as consumers. When an agent is added to the system, it must tell the facilitator what it can do and what services it can provide. A consumer’s request for service, sent to the facilitator, gives the name of the task to be done, and, optionally, a list of preferences, which are used by the facilitator to choose among providers with capabilities to perform the request. There are mechanisms in DALEKS to handle simple preferences, such as naming a preferred provider, preferring one that is most recent (i.e., the newest provider in the system as determined by the time and date of its advertisement), or choosing the provider that can understand a specific language or ontology. The consumer may also prioritize its preferences, which the facilitator uses when selecting a tool. Upon receiving a request, the facilitator locates and selects a provider using the providers’ advertisements and consumer’s preferences. It then forwards the request to the selected provider for execution. Results of the request are sent directly back to the consumer.Plan execution that leads to achieving a goal is triggered in DALEKS by a user agent (UA) upon the user’s request. For each task to be performed, UA sends a KQML message to the facilitator to recruit a tool agent that can do the requested task. The facilitator, using the advertisements it has received from the different agents and (optionally) the preferences sent by UA, selects an appropriate one for the current task. After tool selection, it checks if the selected tool agent requires any input, which it knows from the tool agent’s advertisement. If no input is required, the facilitator forwards the request (contained in the content of the recruit KQML message) to the selected tool agent. After performing the task, the tool agent replies back to UA with the outcome and a description of the information or data it has produced. This description comes as URCs (Uniform Resource Characteristics) [LAN-ACL, 1995] that provide meta-data about the information source, including the URL (Uniform Resource Locator) that specifies where the resource may be found and a description of its contents and physical form properties, such as its data format and access protocol. The actual resource (e.g., files and databases) is kept with the tool agent that produced it. When UA receives the reply, it goes on to the next task in the plan.Figure 2 illustrates part of the information-sharing path in the university course administration prototype, which follows the recruit mode of matchmaking. In this figure, KQML messages sent between agents only show the KQML performative, e.g., ask, reply, achieve, and the content, enclosed in parentheses and specified using informal notation.If the facilitator finds that a selected tool agent requires input, it sends a KQML message to UA to ask if any of the previous plan steps executed has resulted in the creation of information that matches the input requirement. UA searches the URCs describing the information produced so far for a match. If found, UA passes the URC of the resource containing the information back to the facilitator. The facilitator, when forwarding the request to the tool agent, specifies where the tool agent may find its input requirements. The tool agent takes care of locating this and accessing the information it requires.If an information source with the input requirement does not exist (for example, none of the information currently produced matches the intellectual content or format of the input required), the facilitator invokes the planner to derive a plan that will create or modify existing information sources to match the requirement. UA still serves as the consumer of this planning task so the planner will reply to UA with the plan, which then executes it. This is one situation where planning is interleaved with plan execution. Another is when the plan being executed is not fully reduced, i.e., it contains non-primitive tasks that can be further decomposed by some method. Planning is initiated during execution to further elaborate the plan.DISCUSSIONIn DALEKS, an agent does not have information about other agents. For example, it does not know about the intentions, goals, or plans of other agents; it only knows its own plans that it uses when performing tasks asked of it. Only the facilitator keeps a model of the other agents in terms of their capabilities and defined as operator specifications. We do not touch on predetermined and pre-negotiated commitments except in assuming that if an agent says it has a capability then it can perform the tasks corresponding to the capability and will do so when asked. The facilitator will select only Figure 2.

We realize that these may become bottlenecks in a system with a large number of software tools, information servers, and users. Future work involves investigating scale-up issues including devising ways of organizing multiple facilitators and planners. Not all tools will operate using the same ontology. Different agents, particularly the tool agents, may use domain-specific ontologies or other more generic ones not only to describe their capabilities but also to work in. Facilitating the interoperation of tools that use different ontologies is another issue for future work.This paper presents our approach to providing a tool for integrating the use of various software tools. We envision this to be a component of the middleware layer in open systems that allows the user to access applications or software tools, just as the object component provides services for accessing different objects.REFERENCES[Cranefield and Purvis, 1995] S.
