When attempting to determine how to respond optimally to a large-scale emergency, the
ability to predict the consequences of certain courses of action in silico is of great utility …

The study of multi-agent systems (MAS) focuses on systems in which many intelligent agents
interact with each other. These agents are considered to be autonomous entities such as …

Multi-agent domains consisting of teams of agents that need to collaborate in an adversarial
environment offer challenging research opportunities. In this article, we introduce periodic …

Multi-agent systems in complex, real-time domains require agents to act effectively both
autonomously and as part of a team. This dissertation addresses multi-agent systems …

This article introduces the current agent-oriented methodologies. It Discusses what
approacheshave been followed (mainly extending existing objectoriented and knowledge …

For sometime now agent-based and multi-agent systems (MASs) have attracted the interest
of researchers far beyond traditional computer science and artificial intelligence (AI). In this …

The product model of Massive is the core of the entire method. It allows the system designer
to break the target system down into several views that concentrate on particular aspects of …

Multi-agent domains consisting of teams of agents that need to collaborate in an adversarial
environment offer challenging research opportunities. In this paper, we introduce periodic …

In this paper, I will discuss the conceptual foundation of agentoriented software development
by relating the fundamental elements of the agentoriented view to those of other, well …

Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE) is rapidly emerging in response to urgent
needs in both software engineering and agent-based computing. While these two …
