Specifying Requirements in a Multi-Agent System with Use Cases
نویسندگان
چکیده
The software engineering of multi-agent systems demands specification of the required agent behaviours to provide documented requirements for the design and implementation phases. A methodology for the analysis and specification of agent behaviours is proposed, which arises from a lengthy experience in the construction of multi-agent simulations for military operations research. The methodology builds upon the existing use case modelling techniques provided by the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and is in keeping with the agent extensions to the UML proposed elsewhere. A case-study from a specific multi-agent air combat simulation accompanies the elaboration of the methodology.

متن کاملLoad-Frequency Control: a GA based Bayesian Networks Multi-agent System
Bayesian Networks (BN) provides a robust probabilistic method of reasoning under uncertainty. They have been successfully applied in a variety of real-world tasks but they have received little attention in the area of load-frequency control (LFC). In practice, LFC systems use proportional-integral controllers. However since these controllers are designed using a linear model, the nonlinearities...
