Multi-agent systems (MAS) provide powerful modelling concepts for representing real-world applications with an appropriate degree of complexity and dynamics [1]. Several academic and industrial experiences have already shown that the use of MAS offers advantages in many different areas such as manufacturing processes, e-Commerce, and network management. Since MAS in such contexts need to be tes...

In this article, we focus on the role of the environment in a self-organising system and how to apply self-organisation principles to build a multi-agent system (MAS) environment. We discuss a design methodology for complex systems with emergent properties: our approach mainly relies on the use of formal analysis tools and languages in order to provide better guarantees of effective global syst...

World Wide Web is the largest database in the Universe which is mostly understandable by human users and not by machines. It lacks the existence of a semantic structure which maintains interdependency of its components. Presently, search on web is keyword based i.e., information is retrieved on the basis of text search of all available matching URL’s / hyperlinks. This may result in the present...
