“…In [108], the authors proposed an approach for enabling DevOps activities (that is, collaborative programming features to achieve fast and continuous deployment of complex systems) in a new framework based on JaCaMo-web IDE [109] (which is a tool related to JaCaMo (http://jacamo.sourceforge.net/ accessed: 14 May 2021), and consequently to Jason). This extension to the IDE enables for interactive facilities, such as the automatic access to the updates made to the components (agents), and the possibility to execute tests on temporary running instances (allowing the framework to check the compatibility of new changes using the real scenario, since tests are performed while the programmer types, without affecting running instances).…”

Multi-agent systems, robotics and software engineering are large and active research areas with many applications in academia and industry. The First Workshop on Agents and Robots for reliable Engineered Autonomy (AREA), organised the first time in 2020, aims at encouraging cross-disciplinary collaborations and exchange of ideas among researchers working in these research areas. This paper presents a perspective of the organisers that aims at highlighting the latest research trends, future directions, challenges, and open problems. It also includes feedback from the discussions held during the AREA workshop. The goal of this perspective is to provide a high-level view of current research trends for researchers that aim at working in the intersection of these research areas.

“…Hence, the approach depends on the exposure of EMAS and AOP works to the context of mainstream software development tools and pipelines, and in particular to the technology ecosystem that has risen to popularity alongside with DevOps. First prototypes that work towards this goal by treating continuous integration, collaboration features, and distributed version control as first-class citizens in the context of agentoriented programming exist [2,3]. Consequently, the whole technology ecosystem that makes up the DevOps toolchains needs to be thoroughly analyzed, and methodologies and re-usable software frameworks (or framework extensions) for identifying and addressing the specific requirements for the DevOps-oriented management of goal-oriented, autonomous software artifacts need to be developed.…”

In this paper, we propose the integration of approaches to Engineering Multi-Agent Systems (EMAS) with the Developer Operations (DevOps) industry best practice. Whilst DevOps facilitates the organizational autonomy of software teams, as well as the technological automation of testing, deployment, and operations pipelines, EMAS and the agent-oriented programming paradigm help instill autonomy into software artifacts. We discuss the benefits of integrating DevOps and EMAS, for example by highlighting the need for agent-oriented abstractions for quality assurance and test automation approaches. More generally, we introduce an agent-oriented perspective on the DevOps life-cycle and list a range of research challenges that are relevant for the integration of the DevOps and EMAS perspectives.

“…From an agent programming perspective, it is worth highlighting that alternative approaches are emerging alongside with JS-son. A notable example is jacamo-web [61], which is essentially a web-based, low-code development environment for agents that allows the on-the-fly instantiation of new agents through a graphical user interface. However, it must be conceded that, given the bleeding edge prototype status of the aforementioned frameworks, the establishment of a stable bridge between the agent-oriented programming and enterprise software ecosystems still remains to be established.…”

Information systems execute increasingly complex business processes, often across organizations. Blockchain technology has emerged as a potential facilitator of (semi)-autonomous cross-organizational business process execution; in particular, so-called consortium blockchains can be considered as promising enablers in this context, as they do not require the use of cryptocurrency-based blockchain technology, as long as the trusted (authenticated) members of the network are willing to provide computing resources for consensus-finding. However, increased autonomy in the execution of business processes also requires the delegation of business decisions to machines. To support complex decision-making processes by assessing potential future outcomes, agent-based simulations can be considered a useful tool for the autonomous enterprise. In this paper, we explore the intersection of multi-agent simulations and consortium blockchain technology in the context of enterprise applications by devising architectures and technology stacks for both off-chain and on-chain agent-based simulation in the context of blockchain-based business process execution.
