Construction of Distributed Computing Environment for MAS by using SOAP

—Application for Pursuer-Evader Game—

Abstract

In the field of evolutionary robotics and multi agent system, it shows the tendency of multi robot systematization or ANNs scale’s increase recently. For this reason, we need larger computational power in order to search an optimal solution. In this research, to solve this problem, we try constructing a distributed calculation system experimentally by using SOAP which can perform messaging easily between crossing platforms. Moreover, we try applying steady state GA to our system because of its algorithm’s high parallelism. To investigate the performance of constructed system, we apply our system to Pursuer-Evader Game.
