Multiagent Systems Engineering

چکیده
This paper describes the Multiagent Systems Engineering (MaSE) methodology. MaSE is a general purpose, methodology for developing heterogeneous multiagent systems. MaSE uses a number of graphically based models to describe system goals, behaviors, agent types, and agent communication interfaces. MaSE also provides a way to specify architecture-independent detailed definition of the internal agent design. An example of applying the MaSE methodology is also presented.

Program Chair Program Committee Multiagent Systems and Software Architecture
Five years of application-driven research taught us that there is a close connection between multiagent systems and software architecture. In this paper, we give an overview of a reference architecture for situated multiagent systems we have developed during our research. The reference architecture generalizes common functions and structures from various applications we have studied and built. ...

متن کاملModeling Organizational Rules in the Multi-agent Systems Engineering Methodology
Recently, two advances in agent-oriented software engineering have had a significant impact: the identification of interaction and coordination as the central focus of multiagent systems design and the realization that the multiagent organization is distinct from the agents that populate the system. This paper presents detailed guidance on how to integrate organizational rules into existing mul...
متن کاملPatterns and Protocols for Agent-Oriented Software Development
Agent-oriented software engineering is faced with challenges that impact on the adoption of agent technology by the wider software engineering community. This is generally due to lack of adequate comprehension of the concepts of agent technology. This thesis is based on the premise that the comprehension of the concepts of and the adoption of agent technology can be improved. Two approaches are...
متن کاملOn the Role of Environments in Multiagent Systems
For a long time, the role of the environment has been underestimated in multiagent systems research. Originating from research on behavior-based agents and situated multiagent systems, the importance of the environment is now gradually being accepted in the multiagent system community in general. In this paper, we elaborate on the role of environments in multiagent systems. We present a model f...
