Abstract

We have built a demonstrator for the communication infrastructure of a multi-agent system controlling a simplified shop floor. We use the concept of stigmergy which does not allow inter-agent communication but only between agents and the environment. Furthermore we keep the agents as simple as possible by using only simple-reflex agents. The environment is modelled as a RDF Knowledge Graph and communication takes place using HTTP request. We carried out experiments regarding the agent scalability and identified open questions.

This work was funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research through the MOSAIK project (grant no. 01IS18070A).
