OMAS is a multi-agent platform developed at UTC which allows prototyping systems of cognitive agents. It works currently on Mac platforms using MCL 5.2 and Windows platforms using ACL 8.1.
OMAS-MOSS Release 7.10 (ACL 8.1 - zip 1.6Mb)
This OMAS release is a new alpha version that has been tested essentially in the ACL 8.1 environment under Windows XP. The MAC MCL 6.2 needs more testing.
OMAS-MOSS Release 7.10 (ACL 6.1 - zip 1.2Mb)
This OMAS release is a new alpha version that has been tested essentially in the ACL 6.1 older environment under Windows XP.
Note: The change of processors (PPC to INTEL) on Macintoshes lead to some severe errors that prevent MCL to function properly. The new Clozure platform, available in this environment, does not yet support the graphics features that were available under MCL. Thus, the Macintosh version of OMAS is on standby.UTC/GI/DI/N244L - OMAS Features (pdf 500K)
