Abstract: |
In this paper we present SinCity, a pedagogical testbed
to compare multi-agent learning strategies. SinCity
has been developed in NetLogo and it can be
considered as an extension of the simple predator-prey pursuit problem. In
our case, we model a police/thief pursuit in an urban grid environment where
several elements (cars, traffic lights, etc.) may interact with the agents in
the simulation. SinCity allows to model, in a graphical
friendly environment, different strategies for both, the Police and the
thief, also implying coordination and communication among the agent set. SinCity is oriented mainly as a pedagogical testbed for learning techniques. The main contributions
of the paper are a graphical simulating environment in NetLogo
(distributed as open source), a pedagogical testbed
for simulating multi- agent learning strategies, and the results concerning
the simulations performed. |
