Agent Oriented Programming Based on SLABS
Ji Wang, Rui Shen, Hong Mei Zhu · 2006
SLABS is a formal specification language designed for modular and composable specification of multi-agent systems. This paper reports our attempts to support SLABS at the level of programming languages. A programming language, SLABSp, is presented to support two distinguished mechanisms, namely caste and scenario, in caste-centric methodology of agent-oriented software development. Based on Java platform, the SLABSp has been implemented by compiling the programs into Java with the multi-agent runtime environment.
