Multi-Agent System Meta-Models
Mohammad Elammari, Reem Elsaeti · 2011
received a great of attention in the last decade and has since become one of the most active areas of research and development activities in the computing field. Despite different agent methodologies, languages, architectures and successfully developed agent-based applications, agent-oriented software engineering remains at an early stage of evolution. Thus, not only are new methodologies urgently required, new evaluation techniques are also mandatory. It is not easy to specify a particular methodology for the development of any system. Furthermore, there are no methods for determining what the advantages and drawbacks of each methodology are. In this paper, authors, compare the four most commonly used MAS meta-models (ROADMAP, HILM, Styx, SONIA) in order to identify the main components that can be used to specify a single, generic MAS meta-model. Keywords: Multi-Agent System, Meta-Models, ROADMAP, HILM, Styx, SONIA. 1.
