Representing Social Structures in UML

摘要: From a software engineering perspective, agent systems are specialization of object-oriented (OO) systems, in which individual objects have their own threads control and goals or sense purpose. Engineering such is most naturally approached as an extension engineering. In particular, the Unified Modeling Language (UML) can be extended to support distinctive requirements multi-agent systems. One requirement results from increasing emphasis on correspondence between social Sociological analogies proving fruitful models for agent-oriented constructions, while sociologists increasingly use agents modeling tool studying We combine several existing organizational agents, including AALAADIN, dependency theory, interaction protocols, holonics, general theoretical framework, show how UML applied capture constructions that framework.
