Abstract

IMPACT (Interactive Maryland Platform for Agents Collaborating Together) provides a platform and environment for agent and software interoperability being developed as a joint, multinational effort with participants from the University of Maryland, the Technische Universitat Wien, Bar-Ilan University, the University of Koblenz, and the Universita di Torino. Here, we describe the overall architecture of the IMPACT system, and outline how this architecture (i) allows agents to be developed either from scratch, or by extending legacy code-bases, (ii) allows agents to interact with one another, (iii) allows agents to have a variety of capabilities (reactive, autonomous, intelligent, mobile, replicating) and behaviors, and (iv) how IMPACT provides a variety of infrastructural services that may be used by agents to interact with one another.
