Designing and Deploying Real World Multiagent Systems Using Hardware in the Simulation Loop: An Approach and a Tool
Jean-Paul Jamont, Michel Occello · 2010
Designing a real world complex system requires to use decentralized artificial intelligence. Such a system involves self-organization techniques, advanced interaction models, real-time architectures... To simplify the design step, it can be necessary to reproduce the behavior of the whole designed system in a virtual environment before to deploy the designed application on the real world devices. In such a deployment, the used models must be degraded in respect with device constraints (memory, CPU) and other physical constraints (thermal dissipation, energy consumption...). This paper proposes a new approach and a tool to support such a deployment.
