Software Engineering for Large Scale Multi-Agent Systems
Thursday, June 30, 2005Carlos LUCENA (Université PUC-Rio, Rio de Janeiro, Brésil)
Nowadays, multi-agent system (MAS) analysis relies mostly on the specification of individual software agents, considering unpredictability as a consequence of the interaction among them. In our work, we propose a law enforcement method that uses risks as guidelines for open and large scale MAS infrastructure specification and development. The method contributes to a better understanding of the problem characteristics and of the causes and consequences of specific behaviors in the MAS, thus contributing to the improvement of dependability attributes. By structuring the design decisions as risks, the method also aims to help on future evolutions and reengineering of the law enforcement middleware.
