Here is some the research carried out independently during the Spring 2001 semester.


"I plan to explore the intricacies of using agents to power a piece of AI software. Having designed the Tic Tac Toe program using agents I wanted to see what it was like to work with agents in a more complicated atmosphere. The objective is to code small creature in Java which uses Agents to make decisions. Threads will be used heavily. This creature will be turned loose in a small environment to wander about. Hopefully I will be able to have a couple of creatures wandering about in this environment." Take a look at an applet demo of what this project eventually became here or the research paper here.
