The method engineering paradigm enables designers to reuse portions of design processes (called fragments or chunks in literature) build that are expressly tailored for realising a system is specific some problem development context. This paper initially reports on the standardisation attempt carried out by FIPA Methodology Technical Committee (TC) and then presents research activities we did starting from work; these resulted slightly different definition most important elements approach...
Considering the great number of agent-oriented methodologies that can be found in literature, and fact each one defines its own concepts system structure, main challenges software engineering (AOSE) research is how to make these interoperable. By defining used a specific domain non-ambiguous way, meta-modelling may represent step towards such interoperability. Consequently objective AOSE TFG (Technical Forum Group) establish strategy for identifying common meta-model could widely adopted by...
Logistic warehouses are critical nodes in a supply chain and improving their performance is crucial issue when trying to avoid unproductive bottlenecks. Warehouse optimization involves several problems, some of which must be considered at the design stage others during real-time operations. In this study, we performed an agent-based simulation analyze behavior automatic logistic under influence specific factors, thereby obtaining indicators supporting decision making warehouse improvement....
This paper presents the Process for Agent Specification, Simulation and Implementation (PASSIM), a simulation-based development process Multi-agent Systems (MASs), which was obtained by integrating well-known established Societies Specification (PASSI) methodology Statecharts-based simulation supporting functional nonfunctional validation of MAS being developed. PASSIM can be effectively used as an experimental tool in context Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE) evaluating benefits using...
Energy management is nowadays a subject of great importance and complexity. It consists in choosing among set sources able to produce energy that will give loads by minimising losses costs. The are heterogeneous, distributed the reaction system, choice sources, must be done real-time avoid power outage. goal this paper present system self-regulate heterogeneous organised as coherent group entities called micro-grid, order optimize several criteria such as: cost efficiency. This based upon...
Organizations willing to employ workflow technology have be prepared undertake a significant investment of time and effort due the exceptionally dynamic nature business environment. Today, it is unlikely that processes are modeled once repeatedly executed without any changes. Goal-oriented workflows promising approach provide flexibility execution processes. Many goal-oriented frameworks exist in literature used for purpose. However, modeling goals burden analyst. This work proposes an...
The design of an agent system for robotics is a problem that involves aspects coming from many different disciplines (robotics, artificial intelligence, computer vision, software engineering). most difficult part it, often consists in producing and tuning the algorithms incorporates robot behavior (planning, obstacle avoidance,...) abilities (vision, manipulation, navigation,...). Frequently, reuse these parts left to copy paste procedure previous applications new one. In so doing problems...
The construction of ad-hoc design processes following the Situational Method Engineering (SME) paradigm is currently carried out by adopting a set phases for which, until now, no well defined techniques and guidelines have been established. consequence that organizations are very dependent on method designers' skills. In this paper, we propose an approach based SME constructing customized agent oriented processes. Our adopts metamodel as most important factor leading to selection assembly...
