LI(A)RA Team - A Declarative and Distributed Implementation for the MAPC 2022

With the increasing computational power and the evolution of the distributed computing paradigm and artificial intelligence techniques and methodologies, computing is becoming increasingly distributed and intelligent. The multi-agent paradigm is one of the most powerful paradigms for implementing distributed artificial intelligence. There are multiple (multi-)agent-oriented programming languages, platforms and methodologies to implement these systems, and the Multi-Agent Programming Contest aims to provide challenging scenarios in which researchers can explore their preferred programming languages, platforms and methodologies to implement multi-agent systems, collecting benchmarks, etc. In this paper, we describe the multi-agent system implemented by the LI(A)RA team for the Multi-Agent Programming Contest 2022, including details about the system’s implementation, the technologies and methodologies used, and also discuss the team’s results.
