General deSouches Commands Multi-agent Army for Performing in Agents Assemble III Scenario: FIT-BUT at MAPC 2022

The Multi-agent Programming Contest provides a good opportunity to compare different approaches to creating a multi-agent system for given scenarios. In this edition, the FIT-BUT team tested solutions based on their own design of a multi-agent system, both on its organisational levels and on the actual architectures of the agents used. The three-level organisation of our multi-agent system was based on the principle of central strategic planning, which results in strategic goals for some subset of agents. These agents execute the goals as their mission and are coordinated by the agent that lies between them and the central element in the hierarchy. The resulting system has stood up to competition and some aspects of it may inspire the design of other multi-agent systems.
