Argo for JaCaMo

In this tutorial you will learn how to import the Argo BDI-agent Architecture in a JaCaMo project and execute a Blink Project (hello world).

Dependencies:

1. JaCaMo Framework already installed.

   

   • JaCaMo-CLI tutorial installation in Linux via apt-get
   • JaCaMo-CLI tutorial other platforms

2. An IoT device using a serial communication channel, programmed using the Javino Blink Example.

   Arduino	SimulIDE
   Blink tutorial with Arduino Board	Blink tutorial with SimulIDE

Instructions:

1. In a terminal command, create a Multiagent System Project, using the command below:

   jacamo app create jacamoWithArgo --console
   

2. Include the Argo Package in the JaCaMo Project. Edit the project file jacamoWithArgo/jacamoWithArgo.jcm as follows:

   mas jacamoWithArgo {
   	agent bob: sample_agent.asl {
   	ag-arch: jason.Argo
   	}
   	uses package: argo "com.github.chon-group:Argo:+"
   }
   

3. Change the file jacamoWithArgo/src/agt/sample_agent.asl including the content below:

   /* Initial beliefs and rules */
   serialPort(ttyACM0).            /* physical Arduino Board in /dev/ttyACM0  */
   //serialPort(ttyUSB0).          /* physical Arduino Board in /dev/ttyUSB0  */
   //serialPort(ttyEmulatedPort0). /* simulated arduino with simulIDE         */
   
   /* Initial goals */
   !start.
   
   /* Plans */
   +!start:
   serialPort(Port) <- 
   	.print("Ah, Mr. Anderson, I see you are as predictable in this world as you are in the other.");
   	.argo.port(Port);
   	.argo.percepts(open).
   
   +ledStatus(on) <-
   	.print("Turning ON  the Led in Arduino!");
   	.argo.act(ledOff).
   
   +ledStatus(off) <-
   	.print("Turning OFF the Led in Arduino!");
   	.argo.act(ledOn).
   
   +port(Port,Status):
   Status = off | Status = timeout <-
   	.argo.percepts(close);
   	.print("It's not over, Mr. Anderson! It's not over!").
   
   

4. Execute the Multiagent System
