چکیده

Interaction in a multi-agent system is susceptible to failure. A rigorous development of a multi-agent system must include the specification of fault-tolerance in agent interactions for the agents to be able to continue to function independently. Patterns are presented for the specification in Event-B of fault tolerance in multi-agent interactions.

Workshop on Methods, Models and Tools for Fault Tolerance

Interaction in a multi-agent system is susceptible to failure. A rigorous development of a multi-agent system must include the specification of fault-tolerance in agent interactions for the agents to be able to continue to function independently. Patterns are presented for the specification in Event-B of fault tolerance in multi-agent interactions.

Development of Fault Tolerant MAS with Cooperative Error Recovery by Refinement in Event-B

Designing fault tolerance mechanisms for multi-agent systems is a notoriously difficult task. In this paper we present an approach to formal development of a fault tolerant multi-agent system by refinement in Event-B. We demonstrate how to formally specify cooperative error recovery and dynamic reconfiguration in Event-B. Moreover, we discuss how to express and verify essential properties of a ...

Fault Detection and Isolation of Multi-Agent Systems via Complex Laplacian

This paper studies the problem of fault detection and isolation (FDI) for multi-agent systems (MAS) via complex Laplacian subject to actuator faults. A planar formation of point agents in the plane using simple and linear interaction rules related to complex Laplacian is achieved. The communication network is a directed, and yet connected graph with a fixed topology. The loss of symmetry in the...

Fault Tolerance Multi Agent co-ordination: A petri net based approach

As technology shifts from centralized computing to distributed computing and then to ubiquitous computing, the users are more dependent on the computer system for task delegation. Here autonomous agent and Multi Agent System (MAS) plays an important role to perform the task delegated by the user. As the fault in MAS is not-deterministic in nature, so designing fault tolerant MAS is a challengin...

Fault Tolerant Knowledge Level Communication in Open Asynchronous Multi-Agent Systems

Agent Communication Languages (ACLs) have been developed to provide a way for agents to communicate with each other supporting cooperation in Multi-Agent Systems. In the past few years many ACLs have been proposed for Multi-Agent Systems and new standards are emerging such as the FIPA ACL developed by the Foundation for Intelligent Physical Agents. Despite these efforts, an important issue in t...
