This page describes approach #2, developed in March 2000, for design
of a bdi-based multiagent approach to the swan DSS. The first approach
can be found here in outline form.
The original "Draft Discussion Document" on using BDI Agents is here.
Comments on both
approaches are welcome.
Applying a BDI Agent Architecture to
the Swan Management DSS:
Regarding the swan management
DSS, the following agents might be considered:
-
Refuge Habitat Quality Agent
-
Refuge Flyway Management Agent
-
Refuge Water Level Agent
-
Refuge Population Segment Agent
-
Migration Agent
-
Distribution Simulator Agent
-
User Interface Agent
If 5 refuges were involved, there would be a total of 27 agents collaborating
under this model. The following diagram describes an approach where each
individual agent's world is more limited than in approach #1.
There are also links to the
design of several individual agents.

Agents:
