Supporting Group Plans in the BDI Architecture Using Coordination Middleware (Extended Abstract)
S. Cranefield. Proceedings of the International Conference on Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, page 1427-1428. Richland, SC, International Foundation for Autonomous Agents and Multiagent Systems, (2016)
Abstract
This paper investigates the use of group plans and goals as programming abstractions that encapsulate the communication needed to coordinate collaborative behaviour. It presents an extension of the BDI agent architecture to include explicit constructs for goals and plans that involve coordinated action by groups of agents. Formal operational semantics for group goals are outlined, and an implementation of group plans and goals for the Jason agent platform, based on integration with the ZooKeeper coordination middleware, is described.
