The Agent iSolutions team is currently developing an
intelligent multi-agent environment used for developing models of work
practice for the purpose of simulating and analyzing current and
future work practice in an organization or for providing
agent-based software solutions to support the people that are part
of the modeled work practice. The environment is
called Brahms. Brahms is a data
driven (forward chaining) discrete event environment usable for
simulation purposes as well as for agent-based software solutions
requiring the use of intelligent agents.

A Brahms Google Group was created to
create a
Brahms Forum used to release news about Brahms, new
releases, patches, etc and to serve as discussion group for
Brahms modelers to discuss Brahms modeling and Brahms agent
development. Go to the
forum's
home page to become a member. |

The Brahms Agent Environment 1.3.0
introduces enhancements to the language for detectable
conditions and transfer definitions allowing for the use of
class variables on the left and right hand side and adding
support for a wildcard variable on the right hand side of
the conditions. The precondition modifies known and knownval
are now also optional. A full list of the
changes can be found
here. |

We now also offer an
Eclipse plug-in for developing Brahms models. The Composer Plug-in is
currently a subset of the features offered in the Composer IDE such as
package and file management, source code editing, compilation and
features most of the enhanced editing capabilities offered by Eclipse
source code editors. The plug-in now offers design views,
however those design views are not as full functional as
those available in the Composer. The plug-in does not yet integrate the agent viewer. For instruction on how to
download and install the plug-in go to the
Download page.

The Orbital Communications Adapter
Monitoring System (OCAMS) began “live” operations in NASA's
ISS Mission Control, on July 8, 2008. OCAMS will be used
24x7 by the ISS OCA Flight Control Team as part of their
work process. OCAMS is the first application of intelligent
multi-agent system (MAS) technology in NASA’s mission
control operations. OCAMS was developed using NASA Ames’s
Brahms multi-agent software tools.

Maarten Sierhuis has published the first book
about Brahms (summary).
In this book he discusses the Brahms language and the use of this
language in modeling
and simulating work practice. Order it now!

The Brahms team has been collaborating with
DigitalSpace on visualizing the simulation results of models of work
practice in a virtual world. As part of an STTR the first phase was
completed. A report about the results of this collaboration can be found
at http://www.digitalspace.com/projects/fmars/project.html.
