The LuCe Coordination Technology for MAS Design and Development on the Internet
نویسندگان
چکیده
Internet-based multi-agent systems call for new metaphors, abstractions, methodologies and enabling technologies specifically tailored to agent-oriented engineering. While coordination models define the framework to manage the space of agent interaction, ruling social behaviours and accomplishing social tasks, their impact on system design and development calls for an effective coordination technology. This paper presents LuCe, a coordination technology that integrates Java, Prolog and the notion of logic tuple centre, a programmable coordination medium, into a coherent framework. The power of the LuCe coordination technology is first discussed in general, then shown in the context of a simple yet significant system: a TicTacToe game among intelligent software agents and human players on the Internet.

متن کاملCoordination Technology for the Development of Multi-Agent Systems on the Web
The development of multi-agent systems on the Web requires powerful and e ective coordination models, languages and patterns. Even more, it calls for an e ective coordination technology, not only implementing a coordination model, but also supporting its metaphors at the development system level, and enabling developers to work at any time at the abstraction level required. This paper presents ...
متن کاملEngineering Multi-Agent Systems in LuCe
Logic languages have already proved to be effective in developing single agents and enabling inter-agent communication in multiagent systems. In this paper, we show how LP can also be exploited for multi-agent coordination, by ruling inter-agent communication so as to build social behaviours. For this purpose, we present the LP-based LuCe model and technology for the coordination of Internet ag...
متن کاملVoltage Coordination of FACTS Devices in Power Systems Using RL-Based Multi-Agent Systems
This paper describes how multi-agent system technology can be used as the underpinning platform for voltage control in power systems. In this study, some FACTS (flexible AC transmission systems) devices are properly designed to coordinate their decisions and actions in order to provide a coordinated secondary voltage control mechanism based on multi-agent theory. Each device here is modeled as ...

The Internet is rapidly becoming the privileged environment for today’s Multi-Agent Systems. This introduces new issues in MAS’ design and development, from both a conceptual and a technological viewpoint. In particular, the dichotomy between the openness of the execution environment and the need for secure execution models makes governing agents’ interaction a really complex matter, especially...
