Blending Event-Based and Multi-Agent Systems Around Coordination Abstractions
[chapter]
2015
Lecture Notes in Computer Science
a principled discipline for the engineering of complex software systems. ...
While event-based architectural style has become prevalent for large-scale distributed applications, multi-agent systems seemingly provide the most viable abstractions to deal with complex distributed ...
At the same time, multi-agent systems (MAS) are expected to provide the most viable abstractions to deal with the modelling and engineering of complex software systems [14, 15] . ...

Coordination for Situated MAS: Towards an Event-driven Architecture
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 ...

A three-phase framework for elicitation of infrastructure requirements
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. ...

Profiling Complex Systems
2008
2008 2nd Annual IEEE Systems Conference
This paper focuses on the engineering of this class of systems: a process that demands consideration of increasing scale, the rapid pace of change of the underlying technologies, the complexity of system ...
This paper presents a diagnostic tool for profiling complexity and uncertainty in large scale system engineering developments and provides some lessons learned from its application. ...
This has been described as a problem of "nested complexity" in that we are dealing with complex physical systems that are themselves embedded in a complex policy system [1] . ...
