A Case Study on the Efficacy of Agent UML in Modeling Intelligent Agents
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper aims to show that the Agent Interaction Protocol (AIP), a subset of the Agent UML working document can provide a suitable technique for modeling the dynamic aspect of Intelligent Agents. A case study was conducted using thirty software architects fluent in UML to show the clarity of AIP diagrams and the efficacy of the models in conveying the dynamic aspects of Intelligent Agents. In order to conduct this case study, two Intelligent Agents, a Workflow Agent and a Network Monitoring Agent, along with two procedural processes, a Data Logging Facility and a Client Interface Process, are modeled using Agent Interaction Protocols and UML interaction diagrams, respectively.

Intelligent multi-agent modeling of the interbank network and evaluation of the impact of regulatory policies
agent-based modeling is an emerging computational technique that makes it possible to simulate complex economic systems, including the banking network, with a bottom-up approach. In this paper, the country's banking network is simulated with an intelligent multi-agent modeling model and indicates that these agents behave based on the adaptive learning. This modeling has been done with the aim o...

متن کاملAgent Based Simulation of Sale and Manufacturing Agents Acting Across a Pharmaceutical Supply Chain
Agent based modeling and simulation consider the behavior of agents acting in a system. The agents' interactions result in changing the agent’s behavior, the whole agent based system, and its environment. In this study, the manufacturing, sale, and receiving orders behaviors pertinent to manufacturing and sale agents acting across a pharmaceutical supply chain of an Iranian manufacturing medici...

متن کاملIntelligenTester - Test Sequence Optimization Framework using Multi-Agents
Our paper focuses on the generation of optimal test sequences and test cases using Intelligent Agents for highly reliable systems. Test sequences support test case generation for these types of systems. Our system is modeled through UML state charts. Conventional test generation techniques do not worry about optimization and dynamic nature of such systems. In the case of highly reliable Softwar...
