1 Model Integrated Computing and Autonomous Negotiating Teams for Autonomic Logistics G.Karsai (ISIS) J. Doyle (MIT) G. Bloor (Boeing)

2 MICANTS 2 Roadmap ä Project domain and goals ä Architecture concept ä Technology reviews: Java, agent frameworks ä Illustrative demo for framework capabilities ä Modeling (and generation) of agents ä Domain analysis ä Plans

3 MICANTS 3

4 MICANTS 4 Domain and Goals Autonomic Logistics ä Negotiation techniques for problem solving typical in resource management for maintenance logistics operations ä Model-integrated approach for component generation (agents and interfaces) and system integration ä Demonstration on real-life problems

5 MICANTS 5 MICANTS Concept LogisticsApp/Dbase(Legacy)LogisticsApp/Dbase(Legacy)LogisticsApp/Dbase(Legacy)LogisticsApp/Dbase(Legacy) “Agent Space” AdapterAdapterAdapterAdapter Models MIPS Environment Model Int. Models of apps, agents, etc. Negotiating a globally beneficial solution

6 MICANTS 6 Review and evaluation of relevant technologies Java & Co. ä Implementation language for network-aware computing + rich set of libraries ä XML: a way for embedding ACL speech-acts ä Jini: (simple) service locator mechanism

7 MICANTS 7 Review and evaluation of relevant technologies Agent frameworks MetaglueZeusVoyager Bee-gentRoninCoABS AgletsJAFMASMadKit ConcordiaMOAKAoS BondMoleHomegrown

8 MICANTS 8 Review and evaluation of relevant technologies Agent frameworks ä BeeGent (Toshiba) ä Modeling tool for building new agent behaviors ä XML-based communication infrastructure ä MIT MetaGlue ä Infrastructure for the Intelligent Room ä Higher-level organization based on subsumption architecture ä Robust communication and service location capabilities

9 MICANTS 9 Review and evaluation of relevant technologies Zeus Agent Building Toolkit ä Agent framework with predefined agent architecture ä Modeling & generation tool + run-time tools ä Coordination protocols are modifiable ä Predefined “Agent building paradigm” ä Infrastructural support ä Messaging, Service lookup, Debugging, ä Built-in contract-net (replaceable) http://www.labs.bt.com/projects/agents/zeus/index.htm

11 MICANTS 11 Review and evaluation of relevant technologies Zeus Agent Building Toolkit

12 MICANTS 12 Illustrative Demonstration Example Allocating and negotiating for a resource Resource Maintenance Task 1 Maintenance Task 2 Allocate (1) Accept(2) Allocate (3) Refuse(4)[MT1] Offer(5)+ Reject(6)+ Accept(7) Transfer(8)[MT2]

13 MICANTS 13 Modeling (and generation) ä Agent behavior models ä Reactive models (stimulus/response) ä Interaction protocol models (e.g. contract-net) ä Problem-solving process models (planning/scheduling/negotiation phase/etc.) ä Prototype: ä Interaction protocol models

14 MICANTS 14 Interaction Protocol Modeling

15 MICANTS 15 Domain Analysis ä NAVSUP business processes ä Boeing work on maintenance/logistics support ä Autonomic logistics vision scenario: ä Autonomic response to fault events detected on- board the aircraft ä Facility location, resource allocation, scheduling

16 MICANTS 16 Negotiating Preferences ä Agent preferences visible to owners ä Qualitative model explanations ä Quantitative details and tradeoffs ä Preferences changeable by owners ä Directly in qualitative and quantitative models ä Indirectly through rejection of alternatives ä Learning preferences from negotiation behaviors

17 MICANTS 17 Plans ä Refinement of the modeling paradigm ä Model interpreters that generate code for the framework ä Modeling of legacy apps ä Legacy app integration infrastructure ä Further domain analysis (site visits w/ customer) ä Refinement of demo scenario
