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. 

OCAMS deployed in Mission Control 
15 August 2008

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. More... 

Brahms Agent Environment 1.2.7 Released 
29 May 2008

The Brahms Agent Environment 1.2.7 fixes some issues related to running Brahms distributed. The previous release updated the Brahms Agent Viewer to now support MySQL 5.0 and to now require username/password to login to the MySQL server no longer requiring the use of an unsecure anonymous user. A full list of the changes can be found here.  More... 

Eclipse Brahms Composer Plug-in
7 March 2008

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 does not yet include the design views, nor does it integrate the agent viewer. For instruction on how to download and install the plug-in go to the Download page.

Brahms - Modeling and Simulating Work Practice

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!

Collaboration with DigitalSpace for Brahms 3D Worlds
8 February 2002

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.
