Abstract
In this paper, we present Organic Agents for Software and Intelligent Systems (OASIS) as a original agents coordination framework. OASIS is based on expertises for building multi-agent system in defined environments.
We introduce the agent/environment interaction modeling and implementation. We describe several coordination techniques such as the negotiation with heuristics in multi-agent planning, and the organization structure in multi-agent actions and mobile agents. Then, these models and techniques are integrated into simulated multi-agent cars on crossroads. Agents are coordinated through common knowledge or negotiation according to the difficulty of the situation. Simulation results shows the coordination techniques comparison with OASIS.
