+
+ * Team members: '''Octavian Voicu''' - voicu.octavian, '''Bogdan Ghit''' - ghit.bogdan, '''Andrei Ciortea''' - andrei.ciortea
+ * Project description: design of a framework for studying the interactions between large numbers of agents in a simulated virtual world.
+
+
+== Technologies ==
+
+* [http://bulletphysics.org/ Bullet Physics Engine]
+* [http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcj/Basic-concepts.html Compiled Native Interface] (CNI)
+* [http://www.mcs.anl.gov/research/projects/mpi/ Message Passing Interface] (MPI)
+* Languages: C++, Java
+
+
+== Milestones ==
+
+1. Hello World simulation on cluster.
+
+
+2. Framework specifications
+
+2.1 Define system components:
+
+ * MAIN CONTROLLER - manages the other controllers + load balancing
+   * creates controller for each environment zone
+   * allows agents to join platform
+   * ensures communication with the environment
+ * CONTROLLERS - facilitate efficient communication between other entities living in the same zone
+   * establishes virtual communication channels
+   * relays percepts from environment to sensors
+   * relays commands from actuators to environments
+ * SERVICES
+   * assign global unique identifiers per agent
+   * discover other accesible agents
+   * join / part communication channels
+   * roaming service for agents migration
+ * AGENTS
+  * SENSORS - monitor the environment 
+  * ACTUATORS - apply changes to the environment
+  * CHANNELS - allow agents to communicate
+
+2.2. Specify communication mechanism
+
+ * MAIN CONTROLLER <-> ENVIRONMENT
+ * MAIN CONTROLLER <-> CONTROLLER
+ * CONTROLLER <-> AGENTS
+
+
+2.3. Architecture
