Role-based Approaches to Development of Multi-Agent Systems: A Survey
Ondřej Kazı́k · 2010
In recent works concerning open Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), the emphasis has been laid on organizational aspects of the development of agent societies. Many models of collaboration and cooperation of agents have been proposed which allow reusability of design patterns in MAS and separation of concerns. One of these approaches is the role-based model, inspired by the importance of roles in human communities. In this paper we summarize the common features of role-based methodologies, compare frameworks and apply the concepts of role-based models to a concrete scenario in the field of Computational MAS.
