“…Qualitative/quantitative measures or indexes have been studied in many technical domains, and schemes on the QoS [ 6 ] are adopted in various information systems including MASs. For instance, a multiagent application system, which operates adaptively in response to changes in both the user’s requests and the system environment, has been realized using problem-oriented QoS parameters of multimedia communication services [ 7 , 8 ]. Furthermore, Gutierrez et al [ 9 , 10 ] studied an interesting method of detecting undesirable patterns of communication in MASs based on metrics for the observation of the performance of agents.…”

Multiagent application systems must deal with various changes in both the system and the system environment at runtime. Generally, such changes have undesirable negative effects on the system. To manage and control the system, it is important to observe and detect negative effects using an appropriate observation function of the system’s behavior. This paper focuses on the design of this function and proposes a new macroscopic measure with which to observe behavioral characteristics of a runtime multiagent system. The proposed measure is designed as the variance of fluctuation of a macroscopic activity factor of the whole system, based on theoretical analysis of the macroscopic behavioral model of a multiagent system. Experiments are conducted to investigate basic characteristics of the proposed measure, using a test bed system. The results of experiments show that the proposed measure reacts quickly and increases drastically in response to abnormal changes in the system. Hence, the proposed measure is considered a measure that can be used to detect undesirable changes in a multiagent system.

“…Addressing the problems mentioned above, in our previous researches [10], [11], a method that is able to predict system troubles in order to maintain service provision by adopting the Evolutional Agent System (EAS) [12] has been proposed. Instead of monitoring undesired conditions of the applications as the triggers for reconstruct agent organizations, the proposed approach focuses on the characteristic of agent behaviour and application requirements to obtain the current system potential as system margin for providing required services.…”

Towards the improvement for service provision through portable devices which have limited resources, we propose a new design of energy-consumption-aware evolutional agent system. In the proposed design, platform specific parameters of local resources are taken into account to calculate the energy continuance index (ECI) of portable devices for controlling service provision in order to reduce power consumption of the portable platforms. Furthermore, we implement a multimedia communication system based on the proposal in order to evaluate its effectiveness. Results from the comparison with a conventional design show that the proposal is able to provide adequate services without affecting user experiences.
