The STL++ Coordination Language: Application to Simulating the Automation of a Trading System
نویسندگان
چکیده
Coordination theory introduced by Malone [6] is concerned with the management of dependencies between di erent activities. Tenets developed in this theory encompass conceptual and methodological aspects that enable a distributed application to have a better expressiveness and to be much more easily implemented, through a clear separation between coordination and computation [3]. In computer science, research in coordination theory focused on the de nition of multiple coordination models and related languages [7]. A coordination language is the linguistic embodiment of a coordination model [3] and has to be orthogonal to a computation language. The most representative of this class of languages is Linda [2]. The coordination language STL++, presented in this paper, applies theories and techniques known from coordination theory and languages in distributed computing to better formalize communication and coordination in distributed multi-agent applications. Because of the inherent distributivity of multi-agent systems (MAS), agent languages should have means to clearly describe the coordination part of a MAS application. STL++, as such, may be seen as a preliminary agent language which allows the organizational structure or architecture of a MAS to be described, with some means to dynamically recon gure it. We present a simulation of the automation of a trading system and show how it can be implemented in STL++.
