This CONACyT research project will enable a research group at the University of South Carolina to cooperate with a research group at the Instituto Politecnico Nacional in Mexico City, Mexico. Together they will develop a methodology that enables software agents with different ontologies to interact and exchange information. The objectives are to increase the ease with which such software can be produced and its robustness. Under this approach, software development would consist of choosing among "volunteers" (agents from an active repository) and assembling them into a problem-solving team, instead of debugging lines of code. Software development would be more like coaching and less like traditional programming. The research will explore 1) how independently constructed autonomous agents reach mutual understanding, 2) what categories of software are suitable for team-oriented programming, and 3) how team behaviors can be analyzed and validated. Groups of students will assemble agent-based software systems and compare the resulting systems for robustness with software developed conventionally. The two resarch sites will collaborate through online meetings, the exchange of graduate students and mutual visits to each other's research centers.

国家科学技术委员会的这一研究项目将使南卡罗来纳州的一个研究小组能够与墨西哥城国家理工学院的一个研究小组合作。他们将共同开发一种方法，使软件代理与不同的本体进行交互和交换信息。其目标是增加制作这种软件的便利性及其稳健性。在这种方法下，软件开发将包括在“志愿者”（来自活动存储库的代理）中进行选择，并将他们组装成解决问题的团队，而不是调试代码行。软件开发将更像是教练，而不像传统的编程。该研究将探讨1）独立构建的自主代理如何达成相互理解，2）哪些类别的软件适合面向团队的编程，以及3）如何分析和验证团队行为。各组学生将组装基于代理的软件系统，并将由此产生的系统与传统开发的软件进行鲁棒性比较。这两个研究中心将通过在线会议、交换研究生和相互访问对方的研究中心进行合作。
