Modeling an OMG-MASIF Compliant Mobile Agent Platform with the RM-ODP Engineering Language
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to model telecommunications services as mobile agent system, we are defining a methodology based on the RM-ODP standards. Our approach makes the distinction between the service behavior specification, that is independent of the support environment, and the complete service specification that must take into account the target environment. To obtain this specification, the designer must be able to model the target environment according to the concepts used in the methodology, i.e., the RM-ODP concepts. We describe in this paper such a modeling activity. The target environment that we consider is an OMG-MASIF compliant mobile agent platform. We model it by using the RM-ODP engineering language.

Towards an ADL for Designing Agent-Based Systems
In this paper, we describe the Architecture Description Language (ADL) that we are defining for the design of agentbased systems. This aims at filing the gap between the analysis and design phases in agent-oriented methodologies. The analysis phase enables the description of the software architecture without any consideration of the execution environment while the design phase supplements the a...

This paper proposes a language called CLAIM : Computational Language for Autonomous Intelligent and Mobile agents. CLAIM allows designing Multi-Agent Systems that support both stationary and mobile agents. Agents designed thanks to CLAIM are endowed with cognitive capabilities (e.g. reasoning), are able to communicate with other agents and are mobile. The primitives of mobility are inspired fro...

Although there is still no killer application identified for Mobile and Intelligent Agents, today Agent technology is considered to form an important part of flexible middleware platforms. A main issue in this context is the integration of Mobile and Intelligent Agent Technology, as well as Distributed Object Technology, e.g., the Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA). This is parti...

The mobile agent technology provides facilities that enable to reduce the complexity of telecommunication services development. However the major part of this development is still devoted to the code production. In order to optimize the development of services, this production should be reduced while the main part must become an upstream activity, i.e., the elaboration of specifications. This p...
