UNIPS - A Multi-Agent based University Planning and
Scheduling System
The aim of UNIPS project is the design and implementation of a system, based
on both Distributed Artificial Intelligence and Constraint Satisfaction
techniques for solving scheduling and planning problems often existing in a
University environment. These problems include course planning, resource
allocation, class timetabling, room allocation and exam scheduling. Plans and
schedules related to those problems are generated in co-operation by a set of
agents of different kinds and with different capabilities. This includes
specific problem solving agents, personal agents, information storing agents,
and information distribution agents.
The main objectives of this project are:
 | To study course planning, resource allocation, course timetabling, room
allocation, exam scheduling and all other organisation problems in a
University. |
| Definition of a hierarchical, multi-agent architecture for the university
environment. |
| Design and Implementation of a Timetabling Agent based on Constraint Logic
Programming (standalone mode) and in Negotiation techniques (communicative
mode). |
| Design and Implementation of Examination Scheduling Agent based on
Constraint Logic Programming (standalone mode) and in Negotiation techniques (communicative
mode). |
| Design and Implementation of a Course Planning and Resource Allocation
Agent based on Constraint Logic Programming (standalone mode) and in
Negotiation techniques (communicative mode). |
| Design and Implementation of a Personal Agent for each entity encountered
in the university environment. |
| Design and Implementation of Information storing and distribution agents
for the university environment |
| Definition of new negotiation protocols between autonomous agents to
enable multi-issue bids, coalition formation and constraint based issues |
