First draft of analysis of the environment, agent architecture and agent properties

[shoepala]

Analyze the characteristics of the environment that the practical exercise presents:

• Accessible or inaccessible.
• Deterministic or non-deterministic.
• Episodic or non-episodic.
• Static or dynamic.
• Discrete or continuous.

Analyze also the properties that each type of agents in the practical exercise must incorporate in order to fulfill all their objectives, based on their architecture and the environment characteristics

Written report detailing the study and analysis of:

• Characteristics of the environment.
• Best kind of architecture to apply to each type of agents.
• Properties that should be exhibited by each type of agents.

Oral presentation

[JohannesHeidecke]

I just added my comments for the first part. I think most of our disagreements originate in the vague definitions they gave us for the different properties. Maybe we can try to find some more well defined definitions somewhere in literature and refer to them.

I'm not 100% sure which criteria they want us to discuss for the agent properties. Right now only reactive/deliberative/hybrid comes to my mind. If you find out more about that please share, I will then upload my comments about it.

Regarding agents there are two things we will need to define:

1. the architecture of each agent
2. the properties of each agent

In the delivery’s grading criteria they are talking about 6 different agents (1.) and 10 main properties (2.).
