Project Overview

• Generic Role Interpreter

– Runs on individual agents – Maps agent’s role/goal assignments to actions

• Reuse GMoDS semantics to define behavior at

the role level

• Define a new goal-capability map to turn leaf

goals into agent behavior

Project Overview

• Goals
• 1. Develop a generic GMoDS-based Role

Interpreter

• 2. Develop a formal goal-capability mapping
• 3. Create a role-driven agent architecture to use

interpreter

• 4. Demonstrate working agent architecture in

Wumpi World simulation

• Motivation

– Help automate agent construction

• Increase system modularity
• Reuse GMoDS execution semantics at the agent level

– Allow architecture to be defined at runtime – Enable future optimizations like role blending

Project Requirements

Project Requirements

• 1. Receive Assignment
• 2. Interpret Role Level Goal Model
• 3. Interpret Goal Capability Map
• 4. Validate Capabilities
• 5. Execute Role Level Goal Model
• 6. Perform Actions
• 7. Report Status

Project Plan

Cost Estimation

• COCOMO

– Effort (staff-months) = 3.2 * EAF * (Size)^1.05 – Time (in months) = 2.5 * (Effort)^0.38

• My Estimation

– Effort = 3.2 * 0.55 * (5)^1.05 = 9.54 staff-months – Time = 2.5 * (9.54)^0.38 = 5.89 months

Architecture Elaboration Plan

• Revise Vision Document
• Revise Project Plan
• Create Formal Specification for Goal Capability

Map

• Create Architectural Design
• Create Test Plan
• Conduct Technical Inspection
• Create Executable Architecture Prototype

SQA Plan

• Project Management
• Documentation
• Standards and Practices
• Reviews
• Testing Requirements
• Source Control, Deliverables
• Risk Management

Initial Prototype Demonstration

• Complete traditional agent architecture

– Based on CIS 844 final project

• Role Plan and GMoDS integration complete

– No organization, assignments are hardcoded – Specification goal tree hardcoded

• Demonstrates baseline architecture with

GMoDS and OMACS integration

Risks and Unknowns

• Translating traditional role plans into usable

role level goal models

• Formalizing goal capability map
• Maintaining current agent quality
