Databases from an Agent-oriented Perspective
نویسندگان
چکیده
We regard a database as a computer model that enables us to simulate different modes of interaction with a real-world system. We describe new agent-oriented modelling principles that can be used to construct such models. These principles use systems of definitions ("definitive scripts") to record the current values of real-world observables, and represent a far-reaching generalisation of the principles adopted in the relational language ISBL. An exercise in concurrent engineering: the design of a lathe shaft, is used for purposes of illustration. We compare our approach to data modelling with relational, deductive and object-oriented approaches.

Method integration: An approach to develop agent oriented methodologies
Agent oriented software engineering (AOSE) is an emerging field in computer science and proposes some systematic ideas for multi agent systems analysis, implementation and maintenance. Despite the various methodologies introduced in the agent-oriented software engineering, the main challenges are defects in different aspects of methodologies. According to the defects resulted from weaknesses ...
متن کاملFormalising Multi-Agent Organisations
Agent oriented software engineering is seen as the approach taken object oriented approaches one step ahead. The design of agent systems is based on three fundamental perspectives: the functional, the interactional and the organisational perspective. The organisation perspective becomes a central design issue if the number of agents is large or the environment is unstable. While the functional ...

متن کاملRobust Dialogue Understanding in HERALD
We tackle the problem of robust dialogue processing from the perspective of language engineering. We propose an agent-oriented architecture that allows us a flexible way of composing robust processors. Our approach is based on Shoham’s Agent Oriented Programming (AOP) paradigm. We will show how the AOP agent model can be enriched with special features and components that allow us to deal with c...
متن کاملModeling and Executing Service Interactions using an Agent-oriented Modeling Language
Modern information systems are considered as collection of independent units called services that interact with each other through the exchange of messages. This paper focuses on interactions from a more centralized or global perspective (i.e. choreography), validates the underlying approach to model interactions, and discusses how choreographies can be executed with an established agent-orient...
