Measures for Testing the Reactivity Property of a Software Agent
نویسندگان
چکیده
Agent technology is meant for developing complex distributed applications. Software agents are the key building blocks of a Multi-Agent System (MAS). Software agents are unique in its nature as it possesses certain distinctive properties such as Pro-activity, Reactivity, Social-ability, Mobility etc., Agent’s behavior might differ for same input at different cases and thus testing an agent and to evaluate the quality of an agent is a tedious task. Thus the measures to evaluate the quality characteristics of an agent and to evaluate the agent behavior are lacking. The main objective of the paper is to come out with a set of measures to evaluate agent’s characteristics in particular the reactive property, so that the quality of an agent can be determined. Keywords-Software Agent; Multi-agent system; Software Testing.

The Euclidean group (Rn,+) where (n?N, plays a key role in harmonic analysis. If we consider the Lebesgue measure ()nd?xR as the Haar measure of this group then 12(2)()nd?x=d?RR. In this article we look for LCA groups K, whose Haar measures have a similar property. In fact we will show that for some LCA groups K with the Haar measure K?, there exists a constant such that 0KC>()(2)KKK?A=C?A for ...

Software defects detection is one of the most important challenges of software development and it is the most prohibitive process in software development. The early detection of fault-prone modules helps software project managers to allocate the limited cost, time, and effort of developers for testing the defect-prone modules more intensively. In this paper, according to the importance of soft...
