Unit testing in multi-agent systems using mock agents and aspects
In this paper, we present a unit testing approach for MASs based on the use of Mock Agents.
Each Mock Agent is responsible for testing a single role of an agent under successful and …

From the specification to the implementation of norms: an automatic approach to generate rules from norms to govern the behavior of agents
VT da Silva - Autonomous Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, 2008 - Springer
Open multi-agent systems composed of heterogeneous, autonomous and independently
designed agents are usually governed by a set of norms. The established norms regulate …
