Society Of Mind

The development of multiple agent systems faces many challenges, including agent coordination and collaboration on tasks. Minsky's The Society of Mind provides a conceptual view for addressing these multi-agent system problems. A new classification ontology is introduced for comparing multi-agent systems. Next, a new framework called the Society of Agents is developed from Minsky's conceptual foundation. A Society of Agents framework-based problem-solving and a Game Society is developed and applied to the domain of single player logic puzzles and two player games. The Game Society solved 100% of presented Sudoku and Kakuro problems and never lost a tic-tac-toe game. The advantage of the Society of Agents approach is the efficient re-utilization of agents across multiple independent game domain problems and a centralized problem-solving architecture with efficient cross-agent information sharing.

New Framework

SummaryThis work addresses a new framework that proposes a decentralized strategy for collective and collaborative behaviours of multi-agent systems. This framework includes a new clustering behaviour that causes agents in the swarm to agree on attending a group and allocating a leader for each group, in a decentralized and local manner. The leader of each group employs a vision-based goal detection algorithm to find and acquire the goal in a cluttered environment. As soon as the leader starts moving, each member is enabled to move in the same direction by staying coordinated with the leader and maintaining the desired formation pattern. In addition, an exploration algorithm is designed and integrated into the framework so as to allow each group to be able to explore goals in a collaborative and efficient manner. A series of comprehensive experiments are conducted in order to verify the overall performance of the proposed framework.
