A OO Framework for Multi-Agent Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) are of great interest as they can be used to model complex phenomena that involve several actors that interact in various ways. This paper describes a framework to support the development of Multi-Agent Systems. The framework is based on the Reaction Diffusion Machine (RDM) and defines the runtime support for the L*MASS language. The language formalizes the concepts of the framework to provide designers with constructs that facilitate the development of Multi-Agent Systems. The underlying RDM ensures soundness to both language and framework. The work is still in progress; therefore, what is presented in this paper need to be further discussed and consolidated.

A Framework for Modelling Multi-agent Systems
Modelling and reasoning about multi-agent systems has been one of the main problems for designers of distributed systems. In this paper we present a logical framework for representing and reasoning about these systems. The framework uses the idea of contexts as presented by Giunchiglia and his colleagues and the ideas regarding multi-agent systems as presented by Morley, George , and Rao. The n...
متن کاملThe Agent-Rule-Class framework for Multi-Agent Systems
Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) have become increasingly mature, but this maturity does not make the traditional Object Oriented (OO) approaches obsolete. On the contrary, building MAS in combination with OO constructs allows the reuse of existing components. Similarly, OO methodologies can benefit from extension towards an agent abstraction and so make use of the methods and tools for MAS. The Agent...
متن کاملModelling Agent Knowledge with Business Rules
Multi-agent systems have become increasingly mature, but their appearance does not make the traditional OO approach obsolete. On the contrary, OO methodologies can benefit from the principles and tools designed for agent systems. The Agent/Rule/Class (ARC) framework is proposed as an approach that builds agents upon traditional OO system components and makes use of business rules to dictate age...
متن کاملVoltage Coordination of FACTS Devices in Power Systems Using RL-Based Multi-Agent Systems
This paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. In this study, some FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. Each device here is modeled as ...
متن کاملTowards a General Framework for Modelling Roles
Role is a widespread concept, it is used in many areas like MAS, Programming Languages, Organizations, Security and OO modelling. Unfortunately, it seems that the literature is not actually able to give a uniform definition of roles, there exist several approaches that model roles in many different (or even opposite) ways. In this draft we start to define a meta-model for roles. Our aim is to b...
