Agent “Concurrency” Notion
Takes several actions as input.
Returns a single “merged” action as output.
IMPACT has proposed 3 ways of concurrent action execution.
They vary in underlying intuitions and application use, but also
- one is polynomial (efficient !)
- one is NP complete
- one is co-NP complete.
Lesson: Choosing sophisticated ways of merging actions may be expensive.
IMPACT Agent Development Environment supports a library (under development) for the agent developer to choose concurren execution methods.
