In this paper, we demonstrate a policy based approach for building and managing large scale agent based systems. We identify different classes of policies for agent based componen...

Software reuse technologies have been a driving force in significantly reducing both the time and cost of software specification, development, maintenance and evolution. However, t...
In this paper, we examine the Multiagent Systems Engineering (MaSE) methodology and its applicability to developing organization-based multiagent systems, which are especially rele...
We argue that it is useful to study classes of Multi-Agent System (MAS) architectures, corresponding to architectural styles in addition to particular tures. In this work we focus ...

Abstract. A crucial part of multi-agent system design is the design of agent interactions. Traditional approaches to designing agent interaction use interaction protocols, which fo...
Most of the contemporary projects require balance between agility and discipline. In the paper a software development and project management methodology called XPrince (eXtreme PRo...

Usually complex systems are controlled by an operator co-operating with a computer-based controller. The controlling software runs in continuous interaction with the operator and c...
Software Product Line (SPL) engineering allows designers to reason about an entire family of software applications, instead of a single product, with a strategic importance for the...

Design by ContractTM is commonly cited as an example of the “crosscutting” concerns that aspect-oriented programming can address. We test this conjecture by attempting to imple...

Abstract. This paper applies the Evolutionary Strategy (ES) metaheuristic to the automatic test data generation problem. The problem consists in creating automatically a set of inp...
