Abstract

A real-time object-oriented agent development system (ROADS) is being developed and used to build embedded distributed rational agents in a manner that is difficult or not possible to build with existing agent development environments(ADEs). Some ROADS innovations include the use of a theory of objects as a foundation on which; (1)different agent development languages can be defined and used within a single ADE; (2)computational models of beliefs desires and intentions can be implemented (3)possible world semantics are readily supported, (4)reactivity and responsiveness are under direct dynamic control of the agent applications; and (5)a formal foundation to model cooperative multi-agent applications is provided. ROADS has been successfully used in several complex applications such as distance learning, high-level telecommunications network management, and eventing systems.
