Abstract :
Simulation is a very effective way for testing different control architectures and improving quality of designed solutions. This paper presents a simulation of knowledge-intensive multi-agent architecture, which enables ontology-based communication and cooperation among a set of autonomous and heterogeneous units/agents in the transport domain. We tested and adjusted the behaviors and interaction abilities of agents using simple transport tasks and introducing some internal disturbances (failure of particular components).
