Reminder : Use Case 3 3 The Application Circles of Sustainability – Indicator suggestions Use Case 3: Selection of Indicators 1.What existing proto-indicators are already captured that relate to the critical issues. 2. Browse knowledge-base of all indicators for indicators that relate to the critical issues. 3. Identify any required new indicators that relate to critical issues and add indicator to knowledge-base. 4. For each critical issue choose indicators from candidates (includes selecting parameters, weighting importance/relevance, targets). 5. Check/test/warn that all domains and all critical issues are covered by at least one indicator. From the project Wiki

Agent-Oriented & GORITE Agent System 4  Agent System  Percept / Action  GORITE  Goals / Plans  Beliefsets Circles of Sustainability – Indicator suggestions  Group of agents, group of reasoning entities interacting with their environment.  Opposite: external environment.  1 thread, multiple processes  1 Agent System per project

Agent-Oriented & GORITE Percepts / Actions 5  Agent System  Percept / Action  GORITE  Goals / Plans  Beliefsets Circles of Sustainability – Indicator suggestions  Percept: the elements external to the Agent System, which it is able to perceive. Representation of a percept in PDT  Action: the elements that the Agent System perform on its external environment. Representation of an action in PDT

Agent-Oriented & GORITE GORITE 6  Agent System  Percept / Action  GORITE  Goals / Plans  Beliefsets Circles of Sustainability – Indicator suggestions  GORITE, or Goal Oriented Teams: library written in Java language.  Created in RMIT.  Framework supporting Agent-Oriented development.  Includes a graphical design tool generating code structure.

Agent-Oriented & GORITE Goals / Plans 7  Agent System  Percept / Action  GORITE  Goals / Plans  Beliefsets Circles of Sustainability – Indicator suggestions  Goal: an intention that an Agent has.  Plan: predefined sequence of actions performed by an Agent to achieve a goal. In GORITE:  BDI Goal: generates new intentions, triggering others goals.  Sequence Goal: succeed if all its sub-goals succeed.  Condition Goal: succeed if any of its sub-goals succeed.  Task Goal: equivalent of a plan. Actual sequence of actions. Representation of a plan in PDT

Agent-Oriented & GORITE Beliefsets 8  Agent System  Percept / Action  GORITE  Goals / Plans  Beliefsets Circles of Sustainability – Indicator suggestions  Internal data maintained by an Agent about what it believes.  Beliefsets are used to reason. Representation of a belief in PDT

15 Dummy Project Circles of Sustainability – Indicator suggestions Water Crisis: Description: Water crisis is a term used to refer to the world’s water resources relative to human demand. The term has been applied to the worldwide water situation by the United Nations and other world organizations. General Issue: Overall scarcity of usable water and water pollution. Normative Goal: Have enough water for everybody and reduce water pollution. Critical Issues:  Inadequate access to drinking water  Inadequate access to water for sanitation  Groundwater over-drafting  Overuse and pollution of Water: o Water Overuse o Water Pollution o Harming biodiversity  Conflict for water Source: Wikipedia – article “Water Crisis”

16 Dummy Knowledge Base Circles of Sustainability – Indicator suggestions  Rain Amount: Average amount of rain (in mm) this year. Ecology > Earth, Water and Air  Bushfires: Number of important bushfires (more than 1000ha burnt) this year. Ecology > Other Target: 1  Water supply: The total water supply of the territory (in m3). Ecology > Earth, Water and Air  Water Consumption / Person: The water consumption this year (in m3). Economy > Consumption and Leisure  Number of Dams: The number of dams in the region. Ecology > Building and Infrastructure  Number of crimes: The number of crimes recorded by police last year. Politic > Conflict and Insecurity
