Title
A temporal blackboard for a multi-agent environment
Abstract
The multi-agent system paradigm emerges as an interesting approach in the Knowledge Based System (KBS) field, when distributed problem-solving techniques are required for solving problems that can be represented as a collection of groups of cooperating intelligent individuals. A key concept in the multi-agent systems is the interaction between agents. On the other hand time plays a crucial role in a wide range of KBS applications. Temporal reasoning and representations consists of formalizing the notion of time and providing means to represent and reason about the temporal aspects of knowledge. This paper presents a framework for agent communication based on the blackboard paradigm which is able to manage temporal information, and it provides its multiple access and coherence management protocols.
