Building Multi-Agent Systems From Reusable Software Components
نویسنده
چکیده
Despite the variety of tools to support the development of multi-agent systems (MAS), the implementation of such systems remains expensive and adhoc. This is caused by the difficulty or, in some cases, impossibility, of tailoring and successfully applying these tools due to their lack of flexibility. In this paper we propose object-oriented frameworks as a technique to build tailorable and reusable platforms for MAS. As an example we describe our experiences with a framework named Brainstorm/J.

The Architecture of an Agent Building Shell
The agent view provides maybe the right level of abstraction for dealing with complex, distributed problem-solving systems. It abstracts from aspects like the hardware or software platforms of various components or the internal structure, methods or processing of these components, focusing attention on how complex, heterogenous, distributed and evolving systems can be built from interoperable e...
متن کاملBuilding Domain-specific Mobile-agent Platforms from Reusable Software Components
Mobile agents are a promising technology for developing applications in many application domains. However, it has not yet gained a large acceptance from the developers. One important reason for this is the difficulty of using generic mobile-agent platforms in specific application domains, which have very concrete requisites. In this paper, we present a reusable component-based framework that en...

This paper will discuss the internal architecture for an agent framework called DECAF (Distributed Environment Centered Agent Framework). DECAF is a software toolkit for the rapid design, development, and execution of “intelligent” agents to achieve solutions in complex software systems. From a research community perspective, DECAF provides a modular platform for evaluating and disseminating re...
متن کاملADK--Building Mobile Agents for Network and Systems Management from Reusable Components
Mobile agents, programs that move within a system performing a set of tasks, are an active field of research. The focus of current research, however, is on the development of execution platforms and applications for mobile agents and not on methodologies for building agents. Creating mobile agents can be tedious and susceptible to errors. We propose a framework where the agent is composed using...
متن کاملSoftware Reusable Components With Repository System
Software reuse is the process of creating software systems from existing software rather than building them from scratch. The goal is the use of reusable components as building blocks in new systems with modifications occurring in a controlled way. The reuse of software components is the key to improve productivity and quality levels in software engineering. One of the most promising approaches...
