Design and Development of Intentional Systems with PRACTIONIST Studio
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present PRACTIONIST Studio, which is an integrated design and development environment for BDI agent-based systems, providing facilities and tools to represent the concepts and intentional elements underlying such a model as well as several common features offered by UMLbased tools. PRACTIONIST Studio aims at bridging the gap between the increasing trend of developing BDI-based multi-agent systems and the availability of tools for their design. It supports developers from early requirements analysis to automatic code generation. More in detail, we first give an overview of the modelling editors provided with PRACTIONIST Studio. Then some fragments of the modelling and development approach when applied to a real-world implementation are presented. Such a complex system is the PSTS (PRACTIONIST Stock Trading System), which is aimed to monitor investors’ stock portfolio by managing risk and profit and supporting decisions for on-line stock trading, on the basis of investors’ trading rules and their risk attitude.

The PRACTIONIST Development Tool
PRACTIONIST (PRACTIcal reasONIng sySTem) [1] is a suite of tools including (see figure 1): (i) a methodology, consisting of a UML-based modelling language (PAML) and an iterative and incremental development process, (ii) the PRACTIONIST runtime and framework (PRF), which defines and supports the execution logic and provides the builtin components according to such a logic to support the develop...
متن کاملIntentional Agent Patterns with the PRACTIONIST Framework
When developing BDI agent-based systems, some design patterns such as incompatible intentions, multiple strategies, intention decomposition, etc. would be very useful in order to catch some desired agent behaviours. As BDI agent programmers, our desire would be to have a framework that natively support such common patterns. The PRACTIONIST framework provides a goal-oriented approach for develop...

متن کاملThe Value Internalization Model in Architectural Education Design, Application, and Test of a Model for Students' Affective Development in the Design Studio
The mismatches between the sensitivities, interests, attitudes, and values of an architecture instructor and the students regarding valuable and noteworthy elements of a design situation have always been encountered in architectural education. Specifically, as long as noteworthy elements from an instructor’s point of view are not internalized in students’ value system, there will be no belief...
