Extending the Unified Modeling Language to Model Mobile Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mobile Agents represent a crucial part in most agent-based systems. However, very little work has taken place in modelling such systems and, up to now, none of the existing agent oriented methodologies provide concepts and notations to fully capture mobile agents. In this work we are presenting extensions to the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to model mobile agents. We use three different scenarios to illustrate the proposed extensions.

Extension of the Unified Modeling Language for Mobile Agents
Mobile agents gained immense attraction as a new programming concept for implementing distributed applications. However, up to now mobile agent programming has been mainly technology driven, with a focus on the implementation of mobile agent platforms and only small programming applications. In this work, we present an extension of the standard UML that provides language concepts for modeling m...
متن کاملA proposed Approach to Model and to Implement Mobile Agents
In the last years, mobile agents are gaining great attention as a new concept for developing and implementing mobile and distributed applications. However, very little work has taken place in defining concepts and notations to model mobile agents. In this paper, we present an approach to model and to implement mobile agents. This approach is materialized by a UML notation, called MA-UML for mod...
متن کاملMAMT: an environment for modeling and implementing mobile agents
This paper presents an approach to model and to implement mobile agents. This approach is materialized by a UML profile, called MA-UML for modeling mobile agents, and a software development environment that assists the specification, design and implementation stages of the agent system development lifecycle, called MAMT. The MAMT environment provides support for modeling multi-agent systems by ...
متن کاملA Validation Approach for Checking Mobile Agents based UML
Mobile Agents are becoming important technology for the development of distributed, heterogeneous and always available systems. The application of Mobile Agent technologies requires extensions to the existing object-oriented modeling languages to accommodate agent-related abstractions such as roles, organizations and environments. If it is difficult to analyze and establish the well-formedness ...
متن کاملModeling of Mobile-Agent Applications with UML
In the last years, the software development based on mobile agents has received important attention because it introduces a new development paradigm for widely distributed and heterogeneous systems. Up to now, the usual approach for mobile-agent applications development has been focused on the implementation phase, mainly because of the vast lack of suitable modeling techniques or methodologies...
