The “why did you do that?” button
Answering why-questions for end users of robotic systems
The issue of explainability for autonomous systems is becoming increasingly prominent. Several researchers and organisations have advocated the provision of a “Why did you do that?” button which allows a user to interrogate a robot about its choices and actions. We take previo ...
We study the impact of using different organisational paradigms on the design and implementation of a Multi-Agent System (MAS) for Real-Time Strategy (RTS) games We examine systems designed and implemented according to a specific paradigm on their performance in a practical sc ...
To improve a negotiator's ability to recognise bidding strategies, we pro-actively provide explanations that are based on the opponent's bids and the negotiator's guesses about the opponent's strategy. We introduce an aberration detection mechanism for recognising strategies a ...
Designing a Cognitive Agent Connector for Complex Environments
A Case Study with StarCraft
The evaluation of cognitive agent systems, which have been advocated as the next generation model for engineering complex, distributed systems, requires more benchmark environments that offer more features and involve controlling more units. One issue that needs to be addresse ...
For real-time programs reproducing a bug by rerunning the system is likely to fail, making fault localization a time-consuming process. Omniscient debugging is a technique that stores each run in such a way that it supports going backwards in time. However, the overhead of exi ...
