Abstract
Reactiveness and performance are important features of Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) and the underlying execution platform has a direct impact on them. These features can be improved by properly exploiting the parallelism provided by multi-core architectures and related parallel hardware. In this paper, we take Jason as a reference for BDI agents and analyze its execution platform according to its concurrency features. Our aim is to modify the Jason reasoning cycle to introduce a concurrent architecture for individual agents. We experimentally evaluate the benefits and drawbacks of the new Jason reasoning cycle.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
