Abstract:

This study outlines an approach to creating a more flexible and robust game agent that utilizes the concepts found in biological symbiosis. This paper suggests, and seeks to prove, that the incorporation of cloud computing provides more computational resources to the game agent. This study provides an overview of such game agents, namely, the symbiotic game agent and the service agent.
