Our goal in this paper is to introduce and motivate a methodology, called Tropos, 1 for
building agent oriented software systems. Tropos is based on two key ideas. First, the notion …

Systems composed of interacting autonomous agents offer a promising software
engineering approach for developing applications in complex domains. However, this …

Build your own intelligent agent system... Intelligent agent technology is a tool of modern

INGENIAS is both a methodology and a set of tools for development of multi-agent systems
(MAS). As a methodology, it tries to integrate results from other proposals and considers the …

The construction of Smart Grids leads to the main question of what kind of intelligence such
grids require and how to build it. Some authors choose an agent based solution to realize …

Holonic multiagent systems (HMAS) offer a promising software engineering approach for
developing complex open software systems. However the process of building Multi-Agent …

INGENIAS provides a notation for modeling multi-agent systems (MAS) and a well-defined
collection of activities to guide the development process of an MAS in the tasks of analysis …
