Context: Agent-based models play an important role in simulating complex emergent
phenomena and supporting critical decisions. In this context, a software fault may result in …

Abstract Holonic and Service-Oriented Architectures have been proposed as solutions for
the conception of flexible and reactive systems. The combination of both architectures has …

In this work, we propose a new test case generation approach that can cover behavioural
scenarios individually in a multi-agent system. The purpose is to identify, in the case of the …

Multi-Agent Systems Testing is an essential activity in agent oriented software engineering
and fundamental in verifying the safety of such systems. In this work, we propose a new test …

In this paper, we propose a novel model-based testing approach designed to consider the
nuances of interactions among agents, allowing for inclusive, exclusive, or parallel …

There are Numerous researches in the fields of social sciences and multi-agent systems that
are dedicated to studying the role of diversity vs. individual capabilities in design and …

In this work, we propose a novel test case generation approach that can cover the new
interactions introduced following the unpredictable evolution of the behaviour of a multi …

Multi-agent systems are proposed as a solution to mitigate nowadays software
requirements: open and distributed architectures with dynamic and adaptive behaviour. Like …

Testing systems developed using the agent paradigm is an important task in the quality
assurance process. In this short paper, we give a state-of-the-art overview of the research …

Abstract Open Multi-Agent Systems (MASs) represent a paradigm in which multiple
autonomous agents communicate and collaborate to achieve shared objectives in an open …
