Modelling Soft Gene, Role and Agent in Extended UML
نویسنده
چکیده
With the recent rapid growth of interest in Multi-Agent Systems(MAS), has come an associated difficulty modelling basic terms, concepts. In this paper, the underlying homogeneousness between human being (society) and software agent (MAS, Multi-Agent System) is opened out, based on which a new definition and architecture for agent is proposed. An agent is made of certain soft genes and roles. Such agents can be more appropriate for dynamic, open system’s analysis, design and implementation. The associated structure model and behavior model are described in extended UML.

Modelling Mobile Agent Applications by Extended UML Activity Diagram
Mobile agent technology has gained increasing importance in recent years. However, little work has been done in defining notations/languages to capture and model mobile agent applications. This paper presents extensions of UML activity diagrams for modelling mobile agent applications, which capture specific features of mobile agents such as mobility, cloning and communications.
متن کاملGiving Life to Agent Interactions
Agent UML (AUML) is an extension of the standard objectoriented modelling language UML adapted for agent-based systems. In AUML sequence diagrams are extended to describe specific dynamic aspects of agents including dynamic role assignment, nondeterministic choice in agent decisions and concurrent communication. These diagrams are used to describe agent interaction protocols. We describe some o...
متن کاملUML-Based Ontology Modelling for Software Agents
Ontologies play an important role in defining the terminology that agents use in the exchange of knowledge-level messages. As objectoriented modelling, and the Unified Modeling Language (UML) in particular, have built up a huge following in the field of software engineering and are widely supported by robust commercial tools, the use of UML for ontology representation in agent systems would hel...
متن کاملModelling Mobile Agent Applications in UML2.0 Activity Diagrams
Mobile agent technology has gained more importance recently due to the rapid advance of high-performance mobile devices with high-speed wireless telecommunications technology such as 3G. However design methodologies for mobile agent applications are not mature enough to support their software development process. We proposed an extension of Activity Diagrams in UML 1.5 for modelling mobile agen...
متن کاملA Formal Framework for UML Modelling with Timed Constraints: Application to Railway Control Systems
In the context of railway signalling systems, time related features play a relevant role at the validation process and specialists are more and more confronted with the necessity of applying formal methods as mean of preventing software faults. UML offers a standard notation for high quality systems modelling, however its current lack of formal semantics explains the existence of few tools supp...
