In-Depth Information
In terms of the model of AGEGC we have developed Agent Grid Intelligence
Platfrom(AGrIP) which is a powerful developing environment for complex and
large distributed intelleigent systems. AGrIP has been applied to develop many
group intelligent decision support systems, such as GEIS (Agent Grid-Based City
Emergency Interactive Response System), RSMAS (Residential Power Demand
Simulatior Based on MAS) and so on.
