A formal framework to build software agents
Manas Ranjan Patra, Hrushikesha Mohanty · 2005
This paper presents a micro-level design perspective of a software agent that is capable of taking part in service-centric interactions with other agents in its environment. The agent software is not built as a monolithic entity but is engineered as a set of distinct modules. The components of the agent software are formally specified using the RAISE specification language. Our formal approach to agent building provides clarity at the conceptual level and eases the process of implementation.
