Abstract

This paper aims to develop a generic and complete computation model toward scheduling, resource allocation, and action model of agents and to design the relevant simulated intelligent agent framework for agent applications. We propose a computation model and development tools to deal with dynamic data, translation of data models, qualitative information, time quantity, uncertainty, functionality, and semantic analysis. We also develop the relevant grammar and algebra system to locate resources and maintain constrains. The system allow user to define percepts and actions of agents. Script language with percept lists are integrated with scheduling and resource allocations. Several computation algorithms and operation tables which include a set of complete temporal logics are proposed. The combined temporal data models are generalized by composing point and interval algebra with qualitative and quantitative functions. The table look-up mechanism has the advantages for computation and realization.
