Ongoing Research on the Software Engineering of Multi-Agent Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Multi-agent systems (MAS) are composed of heterogeneous agent with distinct agent properties, such as adaptation, mobility, collaboration, roles, and learning. The agent paradigm per se is not new since it has its roots in the Artificial Intelligent research. However, an important issue in getting the agent technology into mainstream software development is the creation of appropriate software engineering techniques. This paper presents the ongoing research on Software Engineering for Multi-Agent Systems at the Software Engineering Lab (LES) at PUC-Rio.

Approach to Organizing the Functioning of Smart Elements in the Multi-Agent “Smart House” System
A research was conducted to form an approach to the design and implementation of a multi-agent control system of smart elements for a “Smart house”. The system was built on the example of three intelligent robots. In the architecture of the system under development, the main part is the subject-independent multi-agent kernel, which includes the following basic components: direct access service,...

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 ...
