Lingzhong Meng, Minyan Lu, Jing Lai, Xiaojie Xu · ASME Press eBooks · 2011
Multi-Agent System (MAS) based computing is the most appropriate paradigm for the problem domain, where data, control or resources are distributed. The MAS has the hypothesis that the agent based computing offers better approach to manage the complex systems and process. Networked software system (NSS) for the complexity and uncertainty of its impact on system reliability, in this paper we assume the MAS consist of a number of independent agents to analysis NSS reliability. The aim of this paper is to provide methods to construct such the MAS based reliability modeling approach for NSS, NSS reliability design, and the coordination and interaction among agents.
