Integrating multiple modeling and development tools for realization of distributed intelligent system

Abstract

Modeling distributed system and modeling intelligent system means that we create a model of a system with corresponding behavior. Multiagent systems are complex systems implementing a platform which is responsible for agent management including inter-agent communication, an agent specification, its behavior, etc. There are many agent platforms that are primarily intended for different applications. The paper deals with an integration of T-Mass and PNagent agent platforms. PNagent implements agents using Petri Nets allowing high-level view to the designed system while T-Mass was developed for usage in systems with limited resources, e.g., Wireless Sensor Networks. The integration is made using the JADE platform as a common base.
