Abstract:

Designs for real-world agent-based systems must reflect both domain requirements and technical capabilities. We illustrate requirements-based agent system engineering with a case study of AARIA Autonomous Agents for Rock Island Arsenal, an industrial-strength agent-based shop-floor control and scheduling architecture being developed for an Army manufacturing facility.
