Abstract

This paper details the results of our work in the field of multi-agent ontology-based environment simulation. We analyze the impact of introducing some techniques for the alignment / translation / mapping of agent ontologies, which allows for collaborative understanding of distributed ontologies. In the end, we analyze the difficulties / gaps that are to be filled for an actual deployment of the technology / concept in a real life environment.
