    abstract     = "This thesis concerns multi-agent systems and agent-oriented programming in relation to the Multi-Agent Programming Contest (MAPC). More specifically the {MAPC} scenarios of 2011 and 2012, namely the Agents on Mars scenarios, and the adaptation and improvement of the 2011 winner, HactarV2, to the 2012 scenario.
HactarV2 is written in the {GOAL} programming language. {GOAL} is an agentoriented programming language for developing rational agents. The logic programming language Prolog is used as {GOAL}’s knowledge representation language.
Our system, which is named {HARDAC,} is evaluated against an updated version of the Python{-DTU} system from the {MAPC} 2012, which is the strongest system for the 2012 contest we know.
The results are positive showing that while still marginally weaker than Python- {DTU,} {HARDAC} is competitive against Python{-DTU} and wins close to 40\% of the time."
