Dear All
As you know in order to foster new avenues of research, we are trying to
consider different issues in the agent competition. This year in
addition to the classical competition we will consider cases where the
abilities of the agents and the teams are reduced and see how the teams
cope with these increasingly difficult conditions. We tend to make the
games increasingly difficult in each stage of the games: preliminaries,
semi-finals and finals.
We consider two different situations:
-By changing initial configuration: The competition difficulty can be
increased by increasing the number of fires and trapped civilians and
perhaps by reducing the number of agents, or by placing agents trapped
in buildings.
-By changing sensing properties: We also consider increasing difficulty
by making the communication to become less reliable - easy would be 4
messages of 256 bytes, medium is 2 messages and hard is zero messages,
and we also consider limiting visibility.
We will also have learning: Here on the same random map three
consecutive runs will be made and based on the difference of the score
of the 3rd and 1st run teams will be ordered.
I will send a message later on how to prepare the necessary files to
bring to the competition.
Best Regards
