Introduction
The scope of this TFG is to work on methodologies
for the design and development of Multi-Agent
Systems. Up to date, several works focused on the analysis and design
phases; actually a great number of methodologies are dealing with them:
ADELFE, GAIA, INGENIAS, MASE, MESSAGE, PASSI, PROMETHEUS or TROPOS to list just a few of
them. This TFG focuses on both the methodological aspect of designing a MAS
and the related technological support provided by CAME/CASE CASE tools.
We are looking for an answer to questions like: which is the right direction
for the future in AOSE? How to reuse works already done about methodologies?
Which kind of CASE do we need to design MAS? How can they interact with
other development tools? How can we select/evaluate/validate a methodology?
Main topics of the Rome meeting
- MAS Meta-models. We will study the MAS meta-models linked with
existing methodologies in order to evaluate the possibility of grounding
future methodologies on a common meta-model including templates and
patterns for different types of agent and types of agent systems as
recommended in the Roadmap of AgentLink II (page 35).
- Methodologies Benchmarking. The relevant number
of existing methodologies encourages a great attention towards the
identification of one or several benchmarks that could
be used to test and evaluate the
different approaches.
- Methodologies Unification.
The AgentLink II Roadmap lists the availability
of standard agent design methodologies as one of the objectives to be
reached by 2008. Some activities already exists in this direction
(FIPA
Methodology
and Modeling TCs)
that aim to define a standard modeling language
and identify several methodology fragments that
could be used (or reused)
to build a new methodology process in a
flexible manner.
How to Participate
(Submission of contributions is
closed)
Three ways of participating to this event are
possible:
- By answering the call for
contributions about a
specific MAS meta-model. A short text (2 or 3 pages) describing the
meta-model or some slides must be sent to the TFG’s chair (cf. above) by
June 18th. A selection will be done and the
authors of accepted proposals will be informed by June 23th.
- By providing some information about case-studies,
benchmarks, significant parameters and quality indexes of design
methodologies in order to study them during the meeting. Send the
descriptive text in a file (raw text, pdf, ps or MS Word)
to the chair by June 21th.
- By preparing a description of your MAS design
methodology (if you created/adapted one) in terms of: name, reference
materials (links to papers, web sites, ...), contact person, design tool
(if a specific one is needed), modelling language adopted, scope of the
methodology (e.g.: BDI/state-based/self-adaptive agents, information
systems/robotics, …), short description of the methodology (half page).
- By attending the meeting in Rome. Please inform the
chair before your venue to enable him to send you all the needed documents
before the meeting.
