Abstract

This is the second year in which a team from University College Dublin has participated in the Multi Agent Contest ( http://www.multiagentcontest.org/2009 ). This paper describes the system that was created to participate in the contest, along with observations of the team's experiences in the contest. The system itself was built using the AFAPL agent programming language running on the Agent Factory platform. A hybrid control architecture inspired by the SoSAA strategy aided in the separation of concerns between low-level behaviours (such as movement and obstacle evasion) and higher-level planning and strategy.
