Design Patterns for Self-Organizing Multiagent Systems

چکیده
Natural systems are currently being regarded as rich sources of inspiration for engineering artificial systems, particularly when adopting the multiagent system (MAS) paradigm. To promote a systematic reuse of mechanisms featured in self-organizing systems, we analyse a selected list of design patterns for recurrent problems in the literature. Starting from our reference MAS metamodel, we provide a complete characterization of each pattern according to a reference scheme: in particular we describe the problem, the solution with respect to our metamodel, the natural systems which have inspired the pattern and known applications. Furthermore, to contextualize the patterns within an engineering workflow, we briefly describe our methodological approach for designing self-organizing MAS.

Self-organizing Approaches for Large-Scale Spray Multiagent Systems
Large-scale multiagent systems will be the key software technology driving several future application scenarios. We envision a future in which clouds of microcomputers can be sprayed in an environment to provide, by spontaneously networking with each other, an endlessly range of futuristic applications. Beside this vision, similar kind of large-scale “spray” multiagent systems will be employed ...
متن کاملSteel Consumption Forecasting Using Nonlinear Pattern Recognition Model Based on Self-Organizing Maps
Steel consumption is a critical factor affecting pricing decisions and a key element to achieve sustainable industrial development. Forecasting future trends of steel consumption based on analysis of nonlinear patterns using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques is the main purpose of this paper. Because there are several features affecting target variable which make the analysis of relations...
متن کاملOn the convergence of autonomous agent communities
Community is a common phenomenon in natural ecosystems, human societies as well as artificial multi-agent systems such as those in web and Internet based applications. In many self-organizing systems, communities are formed evolutionarily in a decentralized way through agents’ autonomous behavior. This paper systematically investigates the properties of a variety of the self-organizing agent co...
متن کاملThe Verification Method of MASOES applied to the Social Force Model for Pedestrian Dynamics
MASOES is a multiagent architecture for designing and modeling self-organizing and emergent systems. The architecture describes the elements, relationships and mechanisms, both at the individual and the collective levels, which determine the self-organizing and emergent phenomena, without mathematically modeling the system. In this work is tested a method of verification for MASOES, in order to...
