Proliferation of multiagent application in business domains prompts increasing studies in MIBIS (Multiagent-based Integrative Business Information Systems) development. Recently, MibML (Multiagent-based Integrative Business Modeling Language) has been proposed as a conceptual-modeling grammar for the MIBIS universe. In this paper, we investigate the MibML grammar from the perspective of the BWW...

In this document, I discuss a multi-agent system for portal server. The document structure is as follows: For the system analysis, the system specifications are presented. Apart from the business case and system description, I make great efforts on the requirement specification in which the system use case is discussed in detail. For the general design, the system architecture is discussed, and...

In this paper we propose a methodology for the design of student modeler autonomous agent based on constraint model. The function of our autononious agent is to interpret the student’s constraint violations arid draw a behavioral schema of the student’s knowledge transfer skills on neural networks concepts. We aimed to build a student modeler by taking advantage of both the theoretical framewor...

The discipline of Agent Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE) has emerged during the last decade. In this domain, methodologies and modeling techniques have been suggested in order to support the development process of agent-based systems. Both the scientific and industrial communities have recognized the potential advantages of agent-based systems. Nevertheless, the number of deployed commercia...

In this paper, we improve and extend the MaSE methodology to bridge the gaps in this methodology. First, we propose an improvement process and, based on this process, we report the discovered gaps and weaknesses in the methodology during different phases of case study life cycle. For removing the reported weaknesses, we introduce a "Role Schema" to document roles properties and the "Knowledge M...

The Department of Defense (DOD) has an extensive family of models used to digitally simulate the mission level interactions of weapon systems. Interoperability and reuse of the underlying data files used to create simulation scenarios are of particular interest to the modeling community. We develop an architecture to support simulation interoperability by combining three key technologies: objec...

Many real-world applications are mapped into combinatorial problems. An example of such problem is timetable scheduling. In this case, the two basic characteristics can be defined by its distributed and dynamic environment. One efficient solution could be provided by an agent-based approach. A timetable scheduling problem can be modelled as a multi-agent system that provides the final schedule ...

Designing and planning in multiagent systems (MAS) can be an example of planning problems, which has been recently known as a powerful processing tool in transactional and interactional environments. Case-based planning (CBP) which is an induction-based mechanism, has many applicational abilities in these problems. Intelligent tutoring system that have kept the most attention in the computation...

Service-Oriented Computing and Agent Technology are nowadays two of the most active research fields in distributed and open systems. However, when trying to bridge the two worlds, it becomes apparent that the interaction-centric approach of multiagent systems may affect the way services are modelled and enacted, and vice versa. We claim that organisational models that underlie multiagent intera...

As agent technology acceptance grows, there is a need for software engineering approaches to deal with the design of large, complex multiagent applications. Currently, existing approaches work well for small systems but are not well suited for large, complex applications. Thus, we propose extending multiagent approaches with service-oriented principles to simplify the design of such systems. Ou...
