Agent Logging

This repository provides a logging component of the multi-level explainability framework for multi-agent BDI systems. This component aims to capture snapshots and generate logs of the multi-agent system implemented using the Jacamo framework. The log file can be uploaded in the Explanation Component to explain the agent behaviour.

A Multi-Level Explainability Framework for Engineering and Understanding BDI Agents

The primary levels of abstraction identified in this study are as follows:

  • The Implementation Level: a detailed narrative closely related to the Agent and Multi-Agent Systems for debugging and testing.
  • The Design Level: a level that describes the agent behaviour regardless of its implementation for analysis and verification.
  • The Domain Level: a high-level narrative that explains the behaviour with reference to the domain and requirements of the system - (work in progress).

Requirements

Please use this version of Jason or JaCaMo in your multi-agent system project.

For Jason applications:

dependencies {
    implementation 'io.github.jason-lang:jason-interpreter:3.2.1-SNAPSHOT'
}

For JaCaMo applications:

dependencies {
    implementation 'org.jacamo:jacamo:1.2-SNAPSHOT'
}

Configuration

You can follow the configuration instructions below to use the logging component as a library in your project.

  1. Add this library as a dependency in your project gradle file:
dependencies {
    implementation 'io.github.yan-elena:agent-logging:latest'
}
  1. In your JaCaMo project, configure the ag-arch and ag-class in your .jcm file as shown below for each agent you are interested in logging.
agent bob { 
  ag-arch:     log.LoggerArch
  ag-class:    log.LoggerAg
}

If you want to use it in a Jason project, follow this configuration in your .mas2j file:

 agents:
        bob     agentArchClass      log.LoggerArch
                agentClass          log.LoggerAg;
  1. Launch the application! The agent's logs generated as readable files (.log) and as .json files are located in the /log folder.
  2. You can try our web application, to explore the narrative of the system at multiple levels!

Example

An example of the configuration and use of this framework can be found in this repository: Domestic Robot Example
