Multi Dimension Quality Model of MAS

چکیده
Advances in networking technology have revitalized agent technology for engineering complex distributed software systems. Nowadays, the agent technology has been applied in a wide range of application domains, including ecommerce, human computer interfaces, telecommunications and concurrent programming. A lot of research has been done on design and development of Multi-agent systems (MAS) but quality in MAS has not yet received much attention. Large-scale MAS based software development will require support for a diverse range of quality dimensions and respective attributes. This paper defines quality model of MAS that addresses various dimensions of quality and proposes a method to evaluate the quality, which is based on quality factor-criteria relationship.

The increased complexity and dynamism of present and future Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) enforce the need for considering both of their static (design-time) and the dynamic (run-time) aspects. A type of balance between the two aspects can definitely give better results related to system stability and adaptivity. MAS organization is the research area that is concerned with these issues and it is cu...

متن کاملTowards an Integral Approach of Organizations in Multi-Agent Systems
AbstRAct In this chapter, we stress the importance of thinking a MAS in all its aspects (agents, environment, interactions, organizations, and institutions), using a more integral vision. We show that a genuine organizational approach has to take into account both the environment and the institutional part of MAS societies. Then, we propose the MASQ (Multi-Agent System based on Quadrants) meta-...
