Popis
Shrnutí:This paper describes the development steps and core ideas used by the USP Farmers herding team, that has participated in the 2010 edition of the Multi-Agent Programming Contest (MAPC 2010). This is the third year that the competitors must design a team of herding agents, whose global goal is to lead a maximum number of cows to their own corral. As this is a very complex task and requires coordination of the team, we have developed the individual agents using the Jason (Bordini et al. 2007 ) interpreter for AgentSpeak(L) (Rao 1996 ). Moreover, the coordination strategy was defined using the OISE  +   (Hübner et al. 2002 , 2007 ) organizational model. We have also used the idea of artifact (Ricci et al. 2007 ) to develop global services, available to all the agents. Moreover, it is clear that for this contest some pure procedural processing should be developed in a lower abstraction level (Hübner et al. 2008 ); therefore some calculation and pre-defined global decisions were implemented by Java classes.
