Subject: [rescue:5551] Re: Proposals for RoboCupRescue 2003 regulations
Hi, all,
There are two primary issues with the series of discussion.
(1) Whether we restrict the communication among agents, or not. (i.e.
limit the message length)
(2) Whether we define standardized ACL or not.
My opinion is (1) Yes and (2) Yes but not now.
I agree with Koto-san and Ranjit-san with issue (1).
However, I think we should have standardized ACL in the near future.
Reasons:
One of the most important research issue is cooperations among agents
with different purpose and different design. It will be very hard to
compare the results from two teams with proprietary ACL. We SHOULD
have common ACL for rescue simulation. With common ACL, agents
become exchangeable, also.
However, we have not reached group-consensus, and it seems to require
much more discussion about this issue.
I think teams with proprietary ACL *MUST* explain what kind of
information is used, in order to understand the activities of teams.
This is very important for both agent research and rescue-operation
research.
-Yoshi
