MGAIA: Extending the GAIA Methodology to Model Mobile Agent Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mobile agents are a class of software agents that have the ability to move from host to host and are particularly relevant for mobile and distributed applications. The development of several mobile agent implementation environments has necessitated conceptual modelling techniques for mobile agent applications. In this paper, we present mGaia, our extension of the Gaia Agent Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE) methodology to model mobile agent systems.

From m-GAIA to Grasshopper: Engineering Mobile Agent Applications
There is a need for agent oriented software engineering (AOSE) methodologies that support the conceptual modelling of mobile agent systems. In this paper, we present m-GAIA, our extension to the GAIA methodology for modelling mobile agent systems. m-GAIA incorporates explicit constructs to perform the analysis and design of multiagent systems which include mobile agents. We also present our exp...
متن کاملThe Gaia Methodology for Agent-Oriented Analysis and Design
This article presents Gaia: a methodology for agent-oriented analysis and design. The Gaia methodology is both general, in that it is applicable to a wide range of multi-agent systems, and comprehensive, in that it deals with both the macro-level (societal) and the micro-level (agent) aspects of systems. Gaia is founded on the view of a multi-agent system as a computational organisation consist...

The Gaia methodology (Wooldridge et al., 2000) has been the rst complete methodology for the analysis and design of multiagent systems. However, the original version of Gaia su ered from the limitations of being suitable for the analysis and design of closed multiagent systems and of adopting non-standard notation techniques. For these reasons, several extensions to the basic Gaia methodology h...
