“…Future work concerns, on one hand, the provision of a formal semantics to powerJava and the extension of the Java type system with roles; on the other hand, the role construct of powerJava can be extended, for example, by allowing roles playing roles (e.g., a student can play the role of representative in the school), and we also study how our definition of social roles can directly be used in Java based agent programming languages, in frameworks like Jade [6].…”

“…The choice of the Java language is due to the fact that it is one of the prototypical OO programming languages; moreover, MAS systems are often implemented in Java and some agent programming languages are extensions of Java, e.g., see the Jade framework [6]. In this way we can directly use roles offered by our extension of Java when building MAS systems or extending agent programming languages.…”

Abstract. Social roles structure social institutions like organizations in MultiAgent Systems (MAS). In this paper we describe how to introduce the notion of social role in programming languages. To avoid the commitment to a particular agent model, architecture or language, we decided to extend Java, the most prominent object oriented programming language, by adding social roles. The obtained language allows an easier implementation of MAS's w.r.t. the Java language. We also show that many important properties of social roles, studied in the MAS field, can be applied to objects. Two are the essential features of social roles according to an analysis reported in the paper: social roles are defined by other entities (called institutions), and when an agent plays a role it is endowed with powers by the institution that defines it. We interpret these two features into the object oriented paradigm as the fact that social roles are objects, which are defined in and exist only inside other objects (corresponding to institutions), and that, through a role, external objects playing the role can access to the object (institution) the role belongs to.

“…There are several existing FIPA-compliant systems that can be used: AAP [11], JADE [2], ZEUS [18], AgentAcademy [17] are just a few to be mentioned. We decided to use the JADE multi-agent platform because of its large community of users that constantly contribute to the improvement of the technology.…”

Abstract. The need to add semantic information to web-accessible services has created a growing research activity in this area. Standard initiatives such as OWL-S and WSDL enable the automation of discovery, composition and execution of semantic web services, i.e. they create a Semantic Web, such that computer programs or agents can implement an open, reliable, large-scale dynamic network of Web Services. This paper presents the research on agent technology development for context-aware execution of semantic web services, more specifically, the development of the Service Execution Agent (SEA). SEA uses context information to adapt the semantic web services execution process to a specific situation, thus improving its effectiveness and providing a faster and better service to its clients. Preliminary results show that context-awareness (e.g., the introduction of context information) in a service execution environment can speed up the execution process, in spite of the overhead that it is introduced by the agents' communication and processing of context information.
