A model design of multi-agent systems
Sara Maalal, Malika Addou · 2011
This study falls within the framework of agent-oriented software engineering, process design methodologies and development of a MAS. In our approach, we try to describe a generic and scalable method of a MAS with a component-oriented architecture and agent-based approach that allows MDA to generate source code from a given model. We begin by designing class diagrams of different agents of a MAS on AUML. Then we generate the source code of the models developed using an open source tool called AndroMDA. This agent-based and evolutive approach enhances the modularity and genericity developments and promotes their reusability in future developments. This property distinguishes our design methodology of existing methodologies in that it is constrained by any particular agent-based model while providing a library of generic models.
