Automated (Re-)Design of Software Agents
نویسندگان
چکیده
Autonomous software agents are dynamic entitities: they are capable of discovering a need for change for additional knowledge and/or functionality on the basis of their analysis of specific situations. Agent factories are capable of redesigning and reactivating agents on the basis of the information provided by agents and/or knowledge available within the agent factories. As a result agents may evolve in ways their designers could never have pre-conceived. The artefacts themselves are dynamic in a way that can not be compared to any other type of design in current design practice. A number of prototype agents and agent factories have been built to evaluate the feasibility of this concept and its consequences.

Interaction-based Approach for Game Agents
Most often, agents in simulations are based on reactive models. Such systems do not plan actions for the agents and are too limited to express complex realistic behaviour. We propose here an agent model for spatially situated simulations, like computer games are. The involved agents are cognitive (or deliberative) ones: they are able to build plans and to adapt them according to the dynamics of...
متن کاملAutomated Component-Based Configuration: Promises and Fallacies
Re-use of software components is standard practice in software design and development in which humans play an important role. In many dynamic environments, however, (semi-)automated configuration of systems, is warranted. This paper examines three such domains: Agent Factories, Web service configuration and general software composition. The differences and similarities between these approaches,...
متن کاملReducing Retrieval Time in Automated Storage and Retrieval System with a Gravitational Conveyor Based on Multi-Agent Systems
The main objective of this study is to reduce the retrieval time of a list of products by choosing the best combination of storage and retrieval rules at any time. This is why we start by implementing some storage rules in an Automated Storage/Retrieval System (Automated Storage and Retrieval System: AS/RS) fitted with a gravity conveyor while some of these rules are dedicated to storage and ot...
متن کاملDESIGN OPTIMIZATION OF RC FRAMES UNDER EARTHQUAKE LOADS
This paper deals with the optimization of reinforced concrete (RC) structures under earthquake loads by introducing a simple methodology. One of the most important problems in the design of RC structures is the existing of various design scenarios that all of them satisfy design constraints. Despite of the steel structures, a large number of design candidates due to a large number of design var...
متن کاملINTEGRATING EARLY AND LATE-PHASE REQUIREMENTS: A Factory Case Study
Requirements Engineering (RE) is getting more attention as it has been recognized as a crucial phase in the development of the software system life cycle. Recent works have made a distinction between early-phase RE and later-phase RE. Early-phases RE activities are typically informal and addresses non-functional requirements. The later-phase RE usually focuses on completeness, consistency, and ...
