Towards a standardization of multi-agent system framework

Recommendations

A framework for programming norm-aware multi-agent systems
COIN@AAMAS/PRIMA'13: Proceedings of the 2013 International Conference on Coordination, Organizations, Institutions, and Norms in Agent Systems IX

We propose a programming framework for the implementation of norm-aware multi-agent systems. The framework integrates the N-2APL norm-aware agent programming language with the 2OPL organisation programming language. Integration of N-2APL and 2OPL is ...
Behavioral Modeling of Multi Agent System: High Level Petri Net Based Approach

Modeling interactions between agents and the Multi-Agent System MAS behavior based on role based collaboration among the participating agents are the key factors to design of effective MAS dynamics. In this paper, a High level Multi Agent Petri Net ...
An agent framework for agent societies
SPLASH '11 Workshops: Proceedings of the compilation of the co-located workshops on DSM'11, TMC'11, AGERE! 2011, AOOPES'11, NEAT'11, & VMIL'11

A key weakness of agent frameworks is the difficulty of specifying and controlling the global (emergent) behavior of the Multi-Agent System (MAS) in which they operate. The spatial computing language Proto, however, compiles descriptions of global ...
