Engineering Organization-Based Multiagent Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we examine the Multiagent Systems Engineering (MaSE) methodology and its applicability to developing organization-based multiagent systems, which are especially relevant to context aware systems. We discuss the inherent shortcomings of MaSE and then present our approach to modeling the concepts required for organizations including goals, roles, agents, capabilities, and the assignment of agents to roles. Finally, we extend MaSE to allow it to overcome its inherent shortcomings and capture the organizational concepts defined in our organization metamodel.

The Tenth International Workshop on Agent-oriented Software Engineering
Organization-based Multiagent Systems are a promising way to develop complex multiagent systems. However, it is still difficult to create large multiagent organizations from scratch. Multiagent organizations created using current AOSE methodologies tend to produce ad-hoc designs that work well for small applications but are not easily reused. In this paper, we provide a conceptual framework for...

Organization-based Multiagent Systems (OMAS) have been viewed as an effective paradigm for addressing the design challenges posed by today’s complex systems. In those systems, the organizational perspective is the main abstraction, which provides a clear separation between agents and systems, allowing a reduction in the complexity of the overall system. To ease the development of OMAS, several ...
متن کاملAnalysis and Design of Multiagent Systems Using Hybrid Coordination Media
Over the last few years, two advances in agent-oriented software engineering have had a significant impact. The first is the identification of interaction and coordination as the central focus of multiagent systems design and the second is the realization that the multiagent organization is distinct from the individual agents that populate the system. Also, the evolution of new, more powerful h...
متن کاملO-MaSE: An Customizable Approach to Designing and Building Complex, Adaptive Multiagent Systems
The complexity and scope of software systems continues to grow. One approach to dealing with this growing complexity is the use of intelligent, multiagent systems. However, due in part to its relative infancy when compared to other software paradigms, the use of multiagent systems has yet to be used extensively in industry. One reason is the lack of industrial strength methods and tools to supp...
