Unifying JIAC Agent Development with AWE

چکیده
In this paper we describe the Agent World Editor, a tool for designing multi-agent systems and generating executable agent code. The tool also unifies the handling of different agent frameworks through an abstract agent model and an extensible transformation infrastructure. Currently, the tool supports three different agent frameworks of the JIAC family, and we feel confident that the approach holds for other frameworks as well as for the generation of multi-agent systems on heterogenous platforms.

Agent Programming in Practise — Experiences with the JIAC IV Agent Framework
This paper describes the agent framework JIAC IV, and the various projects it has been applied in. The projects were industry-funded as well as research-oriented. Our aim is to convey the particular requirements that followed from this link, and the consequences for the further development of the framework. We describe the projects and the impact that JIAC IV had on them, and conclude with an a...
متن کاملModel-driven Development and Validation of Multi-agent Systems in JIAC V with the Agent World Editor
In this work we describe the Agent World Editor, a graphical editor that supports the development and validation of multi-agent systems in JIAC V. For the development of this editor, which complies with the OSGi technology, a model-driven approach was used. Concepts that support the developer to design multi-agent systems in JIAC V have been developed as well. Developers do not need to configur...
متن کاملSoftware Agent Technology in Mobile Service Environments
The demand for mobility in modern societies leads to the development of smaller and wireless networked computational devices. The resulting service environments for future mobile service networks will be complex. The individual character of future services requires highly flexible service infrastructures and development frameworks. We propose agent technology for the implementation of mobile se...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Visual Service Design Tool providing a mapping from BPMN to JIAC
Although they have been topic to academic research for several years and although they are often seen as the next step towards truly reusable and modular programs, multi-agent systems are still underrepresented in the industry. At the same time web-services and service oriented architectures are adopted much faster in the same domain. A possible reason for this can be found in the lack of easy-...
متن کاملEngineering JIAC Multi-Agent Systems (Demonstration)
The development of high quality software is considered to be extremely di cult. In fact, it has been argued that such endeavours are one of the most di cult construction tasks that humans undertake [2]. Contemporary IT-infrastructures facilitate the need for distributed applications—a system design which can be implemented with Agent Oriented Software Engineering [2]. Yet, despite the requireme...
