A-Teams are strongly cyclic networks of memories and agents. Memories are repositories of solutions related to the problem being solved.
Agents are autonomous entities that modify the contents of memories.
A-Teams are constructed by selecting the appropriate memories and agents from a repository and connecting them together. Spatial Realization is an instance of Configuration Design. The goal is to locate a set of objects in a housing unit to satisfy various constraints between the objects. This is a problem instance for packing the components into a seeker assembly for a missile. The A-Teams toolkit provides a mechanism for connecting agents and memories and for observing and controlling the execution of a team.
