ABSTRACT
While there are many multi-agent platforms, one that can support the creation of a cyber system (comprising static and mobile soft agents), which in turn can control physical systems, seems grossly missing. In this demonstration, we introduce Tartarus, a Prolog based multi-agent platform that can cater to the creation, programming, cloning and termination of both static and mobile agents. Tartarus empowers developers to drive both the cyber and physical worlds thereby facilitating the creation and actual deployment of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and Internet of Things (IoT) in the real world.
