Principles of Compositional Multi-Agent System Development
نویسندگان
چکیده
A dedicated development method for multi-agent systems requires adequate means to describe the characteristics of agents and multi-agent systems. Compositional multi-agent system development is based on the principles process and knowledge abstraction, compositionality, reuse, specification and verification. Although the paper addreses these principles of compositional multi-agent system development from a generic perspective, some of the examples used to illustrate the notions discussed are taken from the compositional development method DESIRE.

متن کاملSpecification of Bahavioural Requirements within Compositional Multi-agent System Design
In this paper it is shown how informal and formal specification of behavioural requirements and scenarios for agents and multi-agent systems can be integrated within multi-agent system design. In particular, i t is addressed how a compositional perspective both on design descriptions and specification of behavioural requirements can be exploited. The approach has been applied in a case study: t...

متن کاملVariation, competition and selection in the self- organisation of compositionality
This chapter discusses how Darwin's evolution theory can be applied to explain language evolution at a cultural level. So, rather than viewing language evolution as a process in which the users adapt biologically to learn language, languages themselves adapt to the learning abilities of individuals. Within this framework, languages evolve through variation, competition and selection. Invention ...
