A customized architecture for integrating agent oriented methodologies

Abstract

While multi-agent systems seem to provide a good basis to build complex system, the variety of agent-oriented(AO) methodologies may become a problem for developer when it comes to select the best-suited methodology for a given application domain. To solve the problem, a development architecture is proposed to blend various AO methodologies, which can empower developer to assemble a methodology tailored to the given project by putting appropriate models together. To verify its validity, we derive a new approach from the architecture in the research project for the construction of C4I system on naval warship. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
