Abstract

The use of the agent/multi-agent system paradigm has increased sharply as an important field of research within the Artificial Intelligence area. In recent times, the application of this paradigm seems appropriate for solving complex problems which require intelligence and bounded response times. This paper presents Simba : an architecture based on ARTIS agents as its main component for the development of real-time multi-agent systems. The ARTIS agent architecture guarantees an agent response that satisfies all its critical temporal restrictions in a real-time environment. The main feature of SIMBA systems is their applicability for complex, distributed, real-time domains. The architecture allows the communication among agents taking into account their hard temporal restrictions. In order to show the use of systems of this kind, the paper describes the design of a multi-agent system for the distributed intelligent control of a residential building.
