چکیده

In this paper, we pursue a modelling approach to address security requirements for multi-agent systems (MAS). This will allow developers to account for both the system and agent-specific security requirements of a MAS during the requirements phase and throughout the whole Software Development Lifecycle of the system. We focus on autonomy, mobility and cooperation of individual agents and how these create additional security vulnerabilities to the system. In proposing a set of generic modelling primitives for these engendered requirements in the analysis of the MAS, we extend our recently proposed MAS metamodel.

Security Framework of Cloud Data Storage Based on Multi Agent System Architecture: Semantic Literature Review

The purpose of this literature review is to provide the information about illustrating the usage of Multi-Agent System (MAS) techniques that can be beneficial in cloud computing platform to facilitate security of cloud data storage (CDS) among it. MAS are often distributed and agents have proactive and reactive features which are very useful for cloud data storage security (CDSS). The architect...

Ethos: a Mas Framework for Modelling Human Social Behavior and Culture

We present a framework for a Multi-Agent System (MAS) devised to support the modelling and simulation of agent-based models of human social behavior and culture change. We set forth its main abstractions, and test the usefulness and generality of the framework by describing how two previously published models from the literature have been re-implemented in it. We argue that our framework provid...

A Multi-Agent System Infrastructure for Large-Scale Autonomous Distributed Real-Time Intelligence Gathering Systems

Complex national security applications require support for component distribution, secure communication, fault-tolerance, and dynamic system reconfiguration that generally fall under the purview of multiagent systems (MAS). Current MAS, however, do not provide the support and flexibility for the design and long-term operation of large-scale sophisticated intelligence applications. We argue that...

Security for a Multi-Agent System based on JADE

The present paper explores the challenges, issues and solutions to satisfy the security requirements of a Multi-Agent System (MAS) based on the JADE framework. By means of a prototype system used for Learning Management, an adequate security concept for MAS in general is presented. Hereby several security features are considered, ranging, among others, from the authentication of users over encr...

Towards 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...
