Model-driven engineering (MDE), implicitly based upon meta-model principles, is gaining
more and more attention in software systems due to its inherent benefits. Its use normally …

This paper describes, from motivations and main objectives to actual implementation, a
novel agent-oriented programming language called JADEL. JADEL is designed to support …

Multi-agent systems (MASs) include multiple interacting agents within an environment to
provide a solution for complex systems that cannot be easily solved with individual agents or …

Agent technology is a software paradigm that permits to implement large and complex
distributed applications. In order to assist the development of multi-agent systems, agent …

Software development required for constructing multi-agent systems (MAS) usually becomes
challenging and time-consuming due to the properties of autonomy, distributedness, and …

Abstract The study of Multiagent Systems (MASs) focuses on those systems in which many
intelligent agents interact with each other. The agents are considered to be autonomous …

Software process engineering is a discipline, which aims to study and improve software
development and maintenance processes. The explicit definition of software processes is …

Development of software agents according to belief–desire–intention (BDI) model usually
becomes challenging due to autonomy, distributedness, and openness of multi‐agent …
