Transaction Oriented Computational Models for Multi Agent Systems

Agent系统是构建复杂、大型软件的一种非常有前途的技术。 澳大利亚的研究人员已经做出了关键的 在这方面的贡献，特别是参考一个成熟的和普遍采用的代理架构称为BDI（信念，欲望，意图）。 为了使这项技术适合在高级应用中使用，它必须具有强大和可预测的行为。 该项目将通过设计和实现一种新的代理语言BDI，在墨尔本大学开发的代理使用事务概念的贡献的基础上，解决这一需求。 这将有助于开发强大和可预测的代理软件，可用于未来复杂和大规模的应用程序。

Agent systems are a very promising technology for constructing complex, large-scale software. Australian researchers have made key contributions in this area, particularly with reference to one mature and commonly adopted agent architecture known as BDI (Belief, Desire, Intention). To make this technology suitable for use in advanced applications, it has to be provided with robust and predictable behaviour. This project will address that need by designing and implementing a novel agent language for BDI, based on contributions using transactional concepts for agents developed at The University of Melbourne. This will contribute to the development of robust and predictable agent software, that can be used in complex and large scale applications of the future.
