Advantages of IMPACT Agents, I
Rich mathematical foundation. Demonstrated by two papers in AI journal, one accepted paper for J. of Logic Programming, and accepted book on IMPACT (MIT Press, spring 2000), and several submitted journal papers.
Can build on legacy data/code and specialized data structures. Demonstrated today by applications on Army Logistics data, Army JANUS simulation data, ARL CIP servers, Oracle data.
Dynamic - can couple arbitrary actions to changes in agent environment. Demonstrated today by coupling of send-mail, create Web pages, file synthesis actions to changes in agent state when new messages are received.
Open - can interact with other agent platforms. Demonstrated today by IMPACT connectivity to arbitrary IBM Aglets. Specifically, shows IMPACT security agents interacting with security agents built by Lockheed Sanders’ Mike Gaughan (ATIRP Consortium) and ARL’s LTC. Paul Walczak using the IBM Aglet agent paradigm.
