View composition in multiagent architectures
DOI: 10.1504/IJAOSE.2008.016798 | Nelis Boucke, Tom Holvoet | Experience with a multiagent architecture for an industrial Automatic Guided Vehicle Transportation System (AGVTS) reveals a lack of support for relating and composing multiple views in architectural descriptions. This prevents separating c... | 3 - 33 |
On the modularity assessment of aspect-oriented multiagent architectures: a quantitative study
DOI: 10.1504/IJAOSE.2008.016798 | Claudio Sant|Anna, Cidiane Lobato, Uira Kulesza, Alessandro Garcia, Christina Chavez, Carlos Lucena | A number of concerns in Multiagent Systems (MAS) have a broadly-scoped impact on the system architectural decomposition, which in turn hinder the design of modular MAS architectures. Typical examples of crosscutting concerns in MAS architec... | 34 - 61 |
Engineering manufacturing control systems using PROSA and delegate MAS
DOI: 10.1504/IJAOSE.2008.016798 | Paul Verstraete, Bart Saint Germain, Paul Valckenaers, Hendrik Van Brussel, Jan Van Belle, Hadeli | This paper presents a systematic description of a reusable software architecture for multiagent systems in the domain of manufacturing control. The architectural description consolidates the authors| expertise in this area. Until now, the r... | 62 - 89 |
Architectural design of a situated multiagent system for controlling automatic guided vehicles
DOI: 10.1504/IJAOSE.2008.016798 | Danny Weyns, Tom Holvoet | Automatic Guided Vehicles (AGVs) are fully automated vehicles that are able to transport goods in an industrial environment. To cope with new and future system requirements such as flexibility and openness, we have applied a situated Multia... | 90 - 128 |
