Abstract. Agent-oriented methodologies are an important means for constructing agent-based systems in a controlled repeatable form. However, agent-oriented methodologies have not r...
This paper describes how the Organization-based Multiagent Systems Engineering (O-MaSE) methodology can be applied to an exemplar multiagent system, the Conference Management Syste...
In this paper we propose viewing Virtual Worlds as open Multiagent Systems and propose the 3D Electronic Institutions methodology for their development. 3D Electronic Institutions ...
