Project: Steering behaviors
I would like to do a project comparing the ways in
which steering behaviors are combined. I will create
a game of some sort (e.g. tag, zoo keeper, etc) that
will test the ability of the agents to compete and
navigate in a dynamic environment (static and moving
obstacles, avoiding, chasing, etc). I will create
agents with a couple of differnt arbitration methods
(e.g. simple priority, pure combination, maybe a
learned approach, etc) and compare their performance
in this game

Project: Reverse potential fields Based on the movement patterns of agents, reverse engineer the social potential field parameters. |

Project: Reverse spring graphs Based on the movement of agents moving in formation, reverse engineer parameters of the rigid graphs corresponding to these formation (read the last part of the social potential field paper). You might also want to check tensegrity structures for ideas. |

Survey: The behavioral vs. physical symbol systems controversy Write a survey on the history of the behavioral models vs. physical symbol systems controversy. Who triggered it, chronology, when it died out? List the people on both sides. Was anyone persuaded? Did anybody change sides? Did the affiliation of the people play a role in their opinions? What are these people doing now? |

Project: Poker or blackjack Write a decision theoretic program for playing a card game (poker or blackjack). It should also contain features for reasoning about bluffing. |

Survey: Cheating, bluffing and deception Write a survey about cheating, bluffing and deception in interagent negotiation, as well as techniques to defend against it. |

Project: Agents in the Service Oriented Architecture At my job, we develop and maintain enterprise systems that employ a Service Oriented Architecture. In such an environment - there are multiple instances of different services (w/ duplications of each for load balancing). I would like to research and implement a basic agent that lives in this environment. What it does is monitors the activity of the services (the actual monitoring will be emulated/simulated since there is already a COTS vendor that does this named Amberpoint). I will be concerned with - given those inputs at the sensors - how can we in real time update policies, routing, and other systems in order to maintain on optimal running distributed system. |
