Development Method for Multi-Agent Real-Time Systems
Lichen Zhang · 2006
Recent developments in multi-agent real-time systems have been promising by achieving autonomous, collaborative behavior between agents in various environments. Agents are being used in an increasingly wide variety of applications from mobile systems to complex mission control and safety systems. However current methods and tools that aid in the development of complex real-time multi-agent systems are still underdeveloped. In this paper, we propose an approach for analyzing and designing multi-agent real-time systems based on UML. The proposed approach is illustrated by an elevator example.
