Situational Method Engineering for constructing ad-hoc agent oriented design process is grounded on a well defined set of phases that are principally based on reuse of components c...
The Hats Simulator is designed to be a lightweight proxy for many intelligence analysis problems, and thus a test environment for analysts' tools. It is a virtual world in wh...
Design patterns have been recently concerned in the multi-agent community for the design of systems with decentralized coordination. In this paper we present a design pattern for d...
Interactions between agents are traditionally specified as interaction protocols using notations such as Petri nets, AUML, or finite state machines. These protocols are a poor ...
We present our Component-Based Agent Framework, which enables a software engineer to design a set of agents by using a visual compo nent-based toolkit (Sun’s BDK), and wiring tog...
