Adriaan ter Mors

Affiliation (besides Almende): Delft University of Technology

Research project: Hybrid Human-Agent Networks (Casimir project)

Research topics: Route planning for autonomous mobile agents. Each agent wants to find a shortest-time route plan from its start location to its destination location while avoiding conflicts with the other agents. We take a prioritized approach in which agents reserve time slots on the infrastructure, and an agent must respect the reservations of higher-priority agents.

Keywords: route planning, agents

Biography: Adriaan ter Mors is a PhD candidate at Almende and Delft University of Technology. In 2004, he received his master's degree in computer science with honors, and his master's thesis, titled "Coordinating Autonomous Planning Agents", won the award for best master's thesis in computer science in the Netherlands for 2005. Before joining Almende for a PhD position in April 2005, he worked at Delft University of Technology on the Cybernetic Incident Management Program, which aimed at providing software support for disaster response.
