Conceptual Modeling for Multiagent Systems: Applying Interaction-Oriented Programming

摘要: Multiagent systems (MAS) are an important paradigm for building complex systems, especially cooperative information systems. Despite much interest in MAS construction, there has not been sufficient progress on the corresponding conceptual modeling representations and techniques. We believe that further extensions to include aspects of actions organizations will be essential development. These goals broader than is traditionally understood, but deal with interactive dynamic modern applications. describe approach termed interaction-oriented programming, which incorporates functionality geared toward coordination, commitment management, collaboration. This naturally thought as providing a metamodel describing MAS. suggest some preliminary methodologies pertaining design coordination requirements.
