Programming MAS with Artifacts

摘要: This paper introduces the notion of artifact as a first-class ion in MASs (multi-agent systems) and focuses on its impact MAS programming. Artifacts are runtime devices providing some kind function or service which agents can fruitfully use - both individually collectively to achieve their individual well social objectives. be conceived (and programmed) basic building blocks model build agent (working) environments. Besides introducing conceptual modelling framework, discusses this new programming, focussing particular composed by cognitive agents. To make discussion more concrete, we provide an example scenario featuring 3APL whose coordination activity is supported TuCSoN tuple centres existing properties artifacts for MASs.
