Task analysis environment modeling simulation

Task Analysis, Environment Modeling, and Simulation (TAEMS or TÆMS) is a problem domain independent modeling language used to describe the task structures and the problem-solving activities of intelligent agents in a multi-agent environment.[1][2]

The intelligent agent operates in environments where:

  • responses by specific deadlines may be required
  • the information required for the optimal performance of a computational task may not be available
  • the results of the computations of multiple agents to interdependent subproblems may need to be aggregated together in order to solve a high-level goal
  • an agent may be contributing concurrently to the solution of multiple goals
