Multiagent Systems as Self-managed Architectures in Software Applications of Innovation
Eva Cipi, Betim Çiço · RePEc: Research Papers in Economics · 2011
This work shows an architectural model of agent based system that can support us to assess the suitability of a multiagent system as a better solution to many technological problems. Agent internal architecture, the multiagent system organization, the communication infrastructure and other infrastructure services are some of included properties which we evaluate. The research presented here is a continuous work that develops a complex application integrating information agents in an architecture software engineering process. There are two main key aspects of this approach: modulated architecture software development and self-management. The functionality of the system can be achieved by collaborating subsystems. The centralized control is combined with the ability of agents to self-manage unexpected situations. We will revisit an agent based system which is developed by adding new functionalities such as autonomous supply chain services, control sales, with other properties we have designed in a market place.
