MAS-ML Tool - A Modeling Environment for Multi-agent Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) emerged as a promising approach for developing complex and distributed systems. However, tools that support development of MASs are essential for this approach is effectively exploited in industrial context. Therefore, there is a need for tools for the modeling of MAS, because create and manipulate models without support of an appropriate environment are tedious and error-prone tasks that demands time. This paper aims to satisfy this need by built a modeling environment domain specific to MAS, implemented as a plugin for Eclipse platform. The environment is based on MAS-ML, a modeling language for MAS. This work focuses the implementation of tool to MAS-ML static diagrams, according version 2.0 of the language.

VisualAgent: A Software Development Environment for Multi-Agent Systems
This paper presents the VisualAgent a software development environment that assists the specification, design and implementation stages of the agent system development lifecycle. The VisualAgent environment provides support for modeling multi-agent systems by using the MAS-ML modeling language and for implementing such systems by using the Agent Society Framework.
متن کاملBehavioral Modeling of Multi Agent System: High Level Petri Net Based Approach
Modeling interactions between agents and the Multi-Agent System (MAS) behavior based on role based collaboration among the participating agents are the key factors to design of effective MAS dynamics. In this paper, a High level Multi Agent Petri Net called HMAP has been proposed which is capable of describing, analyzing and modeling dynamics of such MAS which are characterized as asynchronous,...
متن کاملOntology-Based Flexible Multi Agent Systems Design and Deployment for Vertical Enterprise Integration
Empowering autonomic control in the enterprise environment highly contributes in the quest for a higher level of flexibility. Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) may be utilized to this end along with the enterprise environment model leading to a decentralization of the manufacturing production processes. The current work proposes a framework along with the necessary software tools for the modeling of MA...
متن کاملUsing the MAS-ML to Model a Multi-agent System
The current object-oriented development practice system analysis is documented through UML artifacts such as Class and Sequence diagrams. Since UML is a widely accepted modeling language, it also would be desirable to offer a UML support for the representation of agent-based system analysis artifacts. Although some central UML constructs are suitably matched for agent-based modeling, several im...
متن کاملA MDE-Based Approach for Developing Multi-Agent Systems
In this paper, we propose an MDA-based approach for developing multiagent systems (MAS). MDA specifies a structured software development process divided in modeling stages. In the PIM stage, where platform independent models are specified, we propose to use MAS-ML, a MAS modeling language that does not restrict or specify implementation platforms. In the PSM stage, where platform specific model...
