@MASTERSTHESIS{ 2014:929449000, title = {Integrating automated planning with a multi-agent system development framework}, year = {2014}, url = "http://tede2.pucrs.br/tede2/handle/tede/5274", abstract = "Automated planning is an important capability to have in intelligent agents. Extensive research has been done in single-agent planning, but so far planning has not been fully explored in multiagent systems because of the computational costs of multi-agent planning algorithms. With the increasing availability of distributed systems and more recently multi-core processors, several new multi-agent planning algorithms have been developed, such as the MAP-POP algorithm, which we integrate into the JaCaMo multi-agent system framework. Our work provides offline multi-agent planning capabilities as part of a multi-agent system development framework. This framework supports complex multi-agent problems based on agent-oriented programming. In summary, the main contribution of this work is to provide the developers with an initial multiagent system implementation for a target scenario, based on the solutions found by the MAPPOP multi-agent planner, and on which the developer can work further towards a fully-fledged multi-agent system.", publisher = {Pontif?cia Universidade Cat?lica do Rio Grande do Sul}, scholl = {Programa de P?s-Gradua??o em Ci?ncia da Computa??o}, note = {Faculdade de Inform?ca} }
