Research Experiences for Undergraduates in Distributed Rational Agents*

Summer 2002

In the summer of 2002 nine undergraduate students from five different universities participated in the REU summer program and conducted research in the field of distributed rational agents. The program was conducted at an NSF supported REU Site in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Texas at Arlington (CSE@UTA). The student participants investigate problems related to Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, intelligent decision making, and adaptive capabilities under real-time constraints in distributed, intelligent agents. This research was performed in the larger context of MavHome and WISE, two large-scale research projects investigating the design and control of intelligent environments and of distributed, intelligent agents operating in real-time.

As part of this program students participated in classrooms sections and conducted active research. At the end of the summer program, a workshop / Open House was held where all participants presented the results of their research. Short descriptions of the projects as well as a video of the open house presentations can be found below.
