Abstract/Summary:
The D'Artagnan Cognitive Architecture (DCA) is a multi-agent system, in which each agent mimics an aspect of human intelligence for controlling a Computer Generated Force (CGF). The Cognitive-based Agent Management System (CAMS), a CORBA-based multi-agent framework that emphasizes dynamic control of communication bandwidth among agents, is used as a framework for DCA. Urban Terror (UrT), an urban warfare modification of the Quake 3 Arena first-person shooter game, is integrated as a test-bed for DCA, providing realistic warfare scenarios.; We provide design and implementation of various agents in CAMS-DCA, its integration with UrT and various enhancements to UrT as well as to CAMS-DCA in order to make a compatible integration. We developed five different scenarios (maps) in UrT with each map having five levels of difficulty resulting in twenty-five test scenarios. A performance comparison is made among different reflex agents of DCA. Out of twenty-five test scenarios, tasks in fifteen test scenarios were successfully accomplished by all the reflex agents with varying performances, whereas only one reflex agent could accomplish all the tasks. The results also indicate that the performance of two or more co-operating reflex agents is always better than the performance of individual reflex agents.
