This site was created to support my ai agent-oriented
research project. The scope of this endeavor is to experiment with AOP
(agent-oriented programming) theory. This project will be implemented using
LISP, more specifically, CLOS (common lisp object system). By the very
nature of this project, this site will be frequently updated. However, it is
doubtful that this site will every be "finished" or "completed". But please
check back often to see where we're at!
Elaboration
This project will attempt
to engage agents to play the imaginary (per muggles) game of Quidditch, based
on the Harry Potter series of novels by J.K. Rowlings. The initial design
model of this project is to give agent status to the game balls as well as the
players. Each agent's belief system will be based on it's exlusive role within
the game. This will also pertain to how much cognitive abilities will be
assigned to each agent. Together, the belief system and cognitive abilities,
will yield an agents "personality". Currently, I have envisioned that a
Quidditch team will be a set of 10 individual agents. Within that set there
will be 7 distint agent "personalities".
