CoAX   Coalition Agents eXperiment
  6 Months Demonstration
Aim:
  • To get the agents that will form the core of the 9 month demo working together in a simple Binni-related scenario on the grid, using some basic KAoS agent domain and conversation facilities. For the 6-month demo each agent will belong to only one domain at a time and there will be a single Air Command demo 'thread'.
    • Storyboard:
  • 29-Jun-2000 demonstration runthrough
  • CoAX Demo Stage 0, Stage 1, Stage 2, Stage 3, Stage 4, Stage 5, Stage 6
    • Agents and Domains:
