Modeling Dynamic Architectures for Multi Agent Systems
Jiao Wen · Chinese Journal of Computers · 2000
In this paper, multi agent systems are investigated from the point of view of software architectures, and formalized using a process calculus, the π calculus. To build a dynamic architecture for multi agent systems, a multi agent systems model is put forward first and described formally in the polyadic π calculus. Then a kind of architecture for multi agent systems, called CARBA which is similar to CORBA, is built based on the roles played by agents in multi agent systems. Finally, the dynamic characteristics of the architecture are analyzed in the paper.
