Abstract

The development of intelligent Multi Agent Systems (MAS) is a non-trivial task. While much past research has focused on high-level activities such as co-ordination and negotiation, the development of tools and strategies to address the lower-level concerns of such systems is a more recent focus. SoSAA (Socially Situated Agent Architecture) is a strategy for the integration of high-level MASs on one hand with component-based systems on the other. Under the SoSAA strategy, a component-based system is used to provide the lower-level implementation of agent tasks and capabilities, allowing for the agent layer to concentrate on high-level intelligent co-ordination and organisation. This paper provides a practical perspective on how SoSAA can be used in the development of intelligent MASs, illustrating this by demonstrating how it can be used to manage backchannel transport services.
