Memory-based social agent's actions and mental states design model
Kun Shao, Zongtian Liu, Zhi-Yong Sun · 2003
Agent-oriented software design systems have been provided, such as MESSAGE system and FIPA model. But still there is no unambiguous definition for "agent". A general agent can be described in terms of autonomy, social ability, reactivity and proactivity, which, in turn, are implemented by the individual agent entity's capability, perception and introspection properties. With the simulation of the memory principle being the focus, this article builds a new architecture model to practice these properties. After researching former models, we provide a new model of an individual agent, named MyAgent, using the Z specification language. By simulating the person's memory action, this model improves on Goodwin's model. Since the interaction between agents and environment assumes more practical significance, we lay considerable emphasis on it while paying less attention to the reasoning of the mutual perception between agents.
