Quick Prototyping and Simulation with the INGENIAS Agent Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
A major nightmare of software developers is having clients claiming the delivered software is not what they expected. Developers make an extensive use of prototypes to prevent such situations to occur. However, the role of simulations have not been studied enough. If an agent based simulation is intended, not all existing agent oriented methodologies are capable of it. It requires code generation capabilities, round-trip features, and components with predefined behaviors. This work introduces the ability of the INGENIAS Agent Framework to simulate MAS specifications and how this can be useful for for agile development of agent-based applications.

Modelling and simulation of social systems with INGENIAS
Most agent-based simulation toolkits are based on the Java programming language. This makes their use difficult for social scientists, who are usually not skilled in computer programming. However, agent modelling concepts are not unlike those which could be used for the modelling of social systems. This assumption is considered in proposing the use of a graphical agent-oriented language for the...
متن کاملDetection of Overworked Agents in INGENIAS
Overworking behaviors appear in multi-agent systems communication quite often. This occurs when an agent receives many messages in a short period of time. As the agent pays attention to the large amount of messages it worsens its performance, causing the system’s performance to worsen as well. The reasons for this behaviors are varied and depend on the nature of the messages: an agent that send...
متن کاملAgent Based Simulation for the Study of Complex Social Systems
In this paper we argue how agent based simulation constitutes a new paradigm for the study and characterization of complex social systems. There is a growing interest among computer scientists in developing shells and specialized software for social scientists. We summarize the main features of some of these tools, and in particular, the usability of INGENIAS, a multi-agent system development f...

متن کاملVisual Modeling for Complex Agent-Based Simulation Systems
Currently there is a diversity of tools for agent-based simulation, which can be applied to the understanding of social phenomena. Describing this kind of phenomena with a visual language can facilitate the use of these tools by users who are not necessarily experts in computer programming, but in social sciences. With this purpose, we propose to define such visual language, which is based on w...
