Investigating strategies for cooperative planning of independent agents through prototype evaluation.
In: First International Conference on Coordination Models and Languages.
This paper discusses the application of the prototyping approach to investigating
the requirements on strategies for cooperative planning and con
ict resolution of
independent agents by means of an example application: the strategic game \Scotland
Yard". The strategies for coordinating the agents, which are parallel algorithms,
are developed with a prototyping approach using ProSet-Linda. ProSet-Linda is
designed for prototyping parallel algorithms.
We concentrate on the techniques employed to elicit the requirements on the algorithms for agent interaction. The example application serves to illustrate the prototyping approach to requirements elicitation by means of a non-trivial instance for
investigating algorithms for cooperative planning and con
ict resolution.
