Recent advances in manufacturing industry, and notably in the Industry 4.0 context, promote
the development of CPSs and consequently give rise to a number of issues to be solved …

Testing software agents and Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) needs suitable techniques to
evaluate agent's autonomous behaviours as well as distribution, social and deliberative …

A system built in terms of autonomous software agents may require even greater correctness
assurance than one that is merely reacting to the immediate control of its users. Agents …

This paper presents a testing methodology to apply Behaviour Driven Development (BDD)
techniques while developing Multi-Agent Systems (MASs), termed BEhavioural Agent …

Abstract Agent-Oriented Software Engineering (AOSE) methodologies are proposed to
develop complex distributed systems based upon the agent paradigm. The natural …

As Multi-Agent Systems (MASs) are increasingly applied in complex distributed applications
such as financial and healthcare services, assurance needs to be given to the user that the …

This thesis discusses an approach for automatically testing systems that are composed of
software agents. A software agent is a software component that carries out autonomous …

Complex and distributed nature of multi-agent systems (MASs) makes it almost impossible to
identify of all requirements at the beginning of the development. Hence, development of …

When multiple robots are supposed to operate together, coordination and communication
issues arise.“Which robot should execute which task?” is the key question of the multi-robot …

Today multi-agent systems research is ready to be transferred to the industrial applications.
But, testing is one of the most critical processes to increase the acceptability of such systems …
