InteRRaP is a layered architecture that has been designed to model autonomously interacting agents.
The classic version is
InteRRaP 3.0 . You can find several publications about that one in the MAS Homepage .
Recently, the new version 4.0 of InteRRaP has been designed, which of course is even better than the old one. It is already described in a technical report which is a very nice piece of paper .
InteRRaP was developed and evaluated by means of a robotics application, namely an automated loading dock .
Currently, we have two systems, a simulation system FORKS and a miniature robot implementation FORKS+ based on KHEPERA robots .
Apart from that, we are currently developing a set of other applications using InteRRaP.
- The MARS simulation system is a transportation scheduling
applications. You can see a system
description in German or look at some of our publications .
Additional information about MARS will be soon available.
- InteRRaPOLY is currently under development. It describes an
implementation of the well known MONOPOLY game as a multi-agent system
whose agents can be machine and human agents. The machine agents are
implemented using InteRRaP.
- There are several other applications and extensions located
around the InteRRaP architecture, which are worked on by a daring crew of undergraduate students .
A recent project is the design of a specification language
for InteRRaP agents. This work is based on the concurrent,
object-oriented programming language Oz that has been developed
at the DFKI.
