Proposal for a Masters Thesis

MULTI-AGENT SYSTEM STATUS DISPLAY

Work is in progress on the SiFA Project. Design systems are constructed from many small knowledge-based agents (SiFAs). It would be useful to have a system that draws diagrams of the interconnections between SiFAs and animates the diagram (perhaps by changing colors) as the SiFAs conflict (e.g., red), negotiate (e.g, amber) and resolve (e.g., green) their differences.
