RTD Objective: Development of a simple prototype of Intelligent Decision Support System for Industrial Emergency Operators based on Multi-Agent Architecture

Application context: GEMINI-MINDES Initiative 

MICA Program, Activity 2.8.3.1-F
 

Objectives and Methods

The objective of this activity is the development of an Intelligent Decision-Support System demo-prototype which should base on the theoretical foundations of intelligent agents and available software technologies. The IDA system should be capable to suggest intervention actions to emergency managers  adequate to:
- system decision-support general goal;  an elimination and mitigation of  emergency states,
- inserted intervention-goals related to various managerial roles, domains, and resources of intervention,
- available knowledge; related to various managerial roles, domains and resources of intervention
- current situation assessed..
An intelligent agent (considered as a system kernel) should be a MAS (three agent system) and should have simplified following functions:  modification of  intervention goals,  planned intervention, and learning from experience.

For the above task, we are going to exame and integrate various AI technologies, methods and methodologies, such as:

Test Case: An emergency management scenario in an industrial oil port (MUSTER Case).

Description
The project effort has been concentrated on the development of simple situation-assessment and intervention planning functions.

Current IDA architecture is based on three simple agents: DirectAdvisor, InformationProvider and Planner.
The research has also been focused on  the cognitive  architecture of the system,
