The growing interest for the design and development of multi-agent systems has brought to the creation of a specific research area called Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (AOS...
Abstract. Design patterns are templates of general solutions to commonlyoccurring problems in the analysis and design of software systems. In mature development processes, engineer...
Debugging multi-agent systems, which are concurrent, distributed, and consist of complex components, is difficult, yet crucial. In earlier work we have proposed mechanisms whereby...
Reasoning about others, as performed by agents in order to coordinate their behaviours with those of others, commonly involves forming and updating beliefs about hidden system pro...
Many approaches and tools assist the various tasks required to develop a multi-agent system (MAS), yet there still remains a gap between the generation of MAS models and program co...
