Some of these problem solvers could be human, others could be ‘intelligent’ environmental monitoring and control systems. Environmental software systems are needed not only for the provision of basic environmental information but also to support the coordination of these problem solvers. An agent architecture can support the requirement associated with disparate problem solvers. The various stakeholders in the process are represented by software agents which can collaborate with each other toward achieving a particular goal. The communication between agents can be accomplished by using interaction protocols which are represented by coloured Petri nets (CPN). This paper describes an approach for providing this support by employing a software agent framework for the modelling and execution of environmental process tasks in a networked environment.</p> <p><a href="http://divcom.otago.ac.nz/infosci/publctns/complete/papers/dp2002-02.pdf.gz">Download</a> (gzipped PDF, 94KB)</p> <hr> <h3><a name="dp2002-03">2002/03: Spatio-temporal and object visualization in rugby union</a></h3> <h4>A.

Videoed sport is the most widely used form of raw data for sports analysis, though it is currently not being used to its full potential. Patterns of player movement and position, both for individuals and groupings of players, are important for understanding the complexities of professional team sports, and yet are not being adequately addressed.</p> <p>This paper outlines a project that aims to support coaching and/or commentary by visualizing and measuring the similarity of video-derived spatiotemporal information, and enabling timely access to relevant video clips. Specifically, methods by which a user of spatially-enabled sports software can visualize spatio-temporal and rugby object information will be discussed. Two issues are examined: (1) powerful spatio-temporal representation techniques for rugby constructs (such as the pitch, players and amalgamations of players: team, scrum, lineout, backline) and (2) user interface design and how it enables rugby object representation alongside the spatio-temporal visualization facility.</p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>spatial, temporal, video, representation, object, rugby</p> <p><a href="http://divcom.otago.ac.nz/infosci/publctns/complete/papers/dp2002-03.pdf.gz">Download</a> (gzipped PDF, 2.3MB)</p> <hr> <h3><a name="dp2002-04">2002/04: Multi-agent system interaction protocols in a dynamically changing environment</a></h3> <h4>M.

The various stakeholders in the process can all be represented and interfaced by software agents which collaborate with each other toward achieving a particular goal. For such situations new agents that arrive on the scene must be apprised of the group interaction protocols so that they can cooperate effectively with the existing agents. In this paper we show how this can be done by using coloured Petri net representations for each role in an interaction protocol and passing these nets dynamically to new agents that wish to participate in a group interaction. We argue that multi-agent systems are particularly suited for such dynamically changing environments, but their effectiveness depends on the their ability to use adaptive interaction protocols.</p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>multi-agent systems, agent conversations, adaptive systems</p> <p><a href="http://divcom.otago.ac.nz/infosci/publctns/complete/papers/dp2002-04.pdf.gz">Download</a> (gzipped PDF, 122KB)</p> <hr> <h3><a name="dp2002-05">2002/05: Hand-held computers in health care: What software programs are available?</a></h3> <h4>W.

The medical community has an obligation to the public to provide the safest, most effective healthcare possible.
