Abstract
Multi-agent systems (MAS) are a special kind of distributed systems in which the main entities are autonomous in a proactive sense. These systems are special distributed systems because of their complexity and hence their unpredictability. Agents can spontaneously engage in complex interactions, guided by their own goals and intentions. When developing such kinds of system, there are many problems the developer has to face. All these problems make it virtually impossible to totally debug a quite complex multi-agent system (i.e. a MAS in which hundreds or even thousands of agents are involved). In this article we present a debugging tool we have developed for the JADE agents platform. Hence, it is a FIPA technology based tool and seeks to alleviate typical debugging problems derived from distribution and unpredictability. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2004.
