Coordination for Situated MAS: Towards an Event-driven Architecture

Andrea Omicini, Stefano Mariani
2013 Applications and Theory of Petri Nets  
Modelling and engineering complex multi-agent systems (MAS) -such as pervasive, adaptive, and situated MAS -requires then to properly handle diverse classes of events: agent operations, resource events  ...  Complex software systems modelled as multi-agent systems (MAS) are characterised by activities that are generated either by agents, or by the environment in its most general acceptation-that is, environmental  ...  Acknowledgements The authors would like to thank the organisers of PNSE'13 and ModBE'13and in particular Daniel Moldt -for inviting our contribution.  ...

A three-phase framework for elicitation of infrastructure requirements

Polinpapilinho F. Katina, N.A. Ra', ed M. Jaradat
2012 International Journal of Critical Infrastructures  
The elicitation of requirements for such a system must consider the nature of system of interest, its environment and system observer.  ...  Many of the current traditional system engineering (TSE) approaches for elicitation of requirements are insufficient when deployed in complex situations.  ...  Introduction The traditional way of dealing with systems requirements needs to take into account the increasing environmental and phenomenological complexities along with the nature of the observer.  ...
