Vencom

Designed using clonemap, a project of RWTH AACHEN University

Installation

Deploy clonemap's core docker containers:

git clone https://git.rwth-aachen.de/acs/public/cloud/mas/clonemap.git "<folder>"
"<folder>"\deployments\docker docker-compose up -d #REM to start the containers
"<folder>"\deployments\docker docker-compose down

Build Vencom image and deploy docker container/s:

git clone https://github.com/SSII-UEM/Vencom.git "<folder>"
cd "<folder>"
docker build --rm -f build\Dockerfile -t vencom .
curl -X "POST" -d @scenario.json localhost:30009/api/clonemap/mas

Issues

• Vencom is currently designed to work on a single MAS, so configuring more imagegroups.agents than the config.agentsperagency will not work as expected.

• Buyers bought products aren't always properly recovered

• Buyers HP can reach subzero values, agents never die

• Periodic behaviours introduce racing behaviours while reading/writing (concurrent) each agent properties

• Coordinate distances aren't properly computed

• Fronted module is having troubles to show logs

Future additions

• Products should have a lifespan to incentivate retailers to design better market strategies and buyers to eat them before others they own

• Buyers should be able to generate an income by themselves in order to survive. That means working, stealing, gifting...

• Agents are located on a 3D map, so it would be interesting to make them able to move (retailers to find better spots to sell, buyers better spots in order to perform their activities)

• Retailers should also have the same capabilities as buyers. That means they should also need to consume products to survive.

• Intelligence

Difficulties

• Debugging is very difficult
