Agent-Oriented Programming Idioms
نویسنده
چکیده
Agent-oriented programming is a new paradigm for conceptualizing a computational system (Shoham, 1993), differing primarily from object-oriented programming in the inclusion of mental state in each of the processes. This paper offers two special-case versions (or idioms) of agent-oriented programming that encapsulates master-slave and peer-peer type interactions in simple protocols. These two idioms are demonstrated with a distributed version of the popular learning system ID3 (Quinlan, 1986) and with a hybrid system for studying ant behavior.

AspectJ Idioms for Aspect-Oriented Software Construction
For concrete usage scenarios there are different options of how to use AspectJ's language features, and these options deeply impact the chances for further evolution of both base classes and aspects. Aspects can use aspect-oriented as well as object-oriented features. The combination of these mechanisms provides new powerful mechanisms. Idioms can help in guiding AspectJ users through this fron...
متن کاملOn Anthropomorphism in Technology-Enhanced Language Learning: Does Modality Matter in Agent-Based Multimedia Instruction on L2 Idioms?
The present study aimed to satisfy a twofold purpose: On the one hand, it sought to verify the postulation that agent-based instruction could offer a compromise approach to teaching L2 idioms where form and meaning would be equally emphasized during instruction. Given that anthropomorphism has not been much under scrutiny, this research, on the other hand, sought to ascertain whether learning a...
متن کاملA Sequence of Patterns for Reusable Aspect Libraries with Easy Configuration
Using well-known AspectJ idioms has been shown to increase the reusability of aspect libraries. Availability of such reusable libraries is an important motivating factor to drive the further adoption of AspectJ in industry and aspect-oriented-programming in general. Existing work, however, mostly presents the existing AspectJ idioms as relatively independent solutions. As experience grows in us...
متن کاملFlexible Feature Binding with AspectJ-based Idioms
In Software Product Lines (SPL), we can bind reusable features to compose a product at different times, which in general are static or dynamic. The former allows customizability without any overhead at runtime. On the other hand, the latter allows feature activation or deactivation while running the application with the cost of performance and memory consumption. To implement features, we might...
متن کاملMultiple Inheritance via Intersection Types
Combining intersection types with higher-order subtyping yields a typed model of object-oriented programming with multiple inheritance. Objects, message passing, subtyping, and inheritance appear as programming idioms in a typed-calculus, a modelling technique that facilitates experimentation and helps in distinguishing between essential aspects of the object-oriented style |encapsulation and s...
