“…It is not our goal to present a formal process or a tool for MAS design and implementation. Other works, such as the Gaia2JADE process (Moraitis and Spanoudakis, 2006), Passi Potts, 2002), Ingenias (Gómez-Sanz andPavón, 2003) and Tropos (Bresciani et al, 2004), are much more adequate for that.…”

“…Recently, Gaia2JADE (Moraitis and Spanoudakis, 2006) has been proposed as a process in order to develop a real-world MAS analysed and designed using the Gaia methodology and implemented with the JADE framework. Gaia2JADE enhances the Software Process Engineering Metamodel proposed by the Object Management Group, 5 adding the JADE development phase and proposing a process that covers the full software development cycle.…”

Abstract:In this paper, we report how we complemented Gaia methodology to analyse and design a multi-agent system for an airline company operations control centre. Besides showing the rationale behind the analysis, design and implementation of our system, we also present how we mapped the abstractions used in agent-oriented design to specific constructs in JADE. The advantages of using a goal-oriented early requirements analysis and its influence on subsequent phases of analysis and design are also presented. Finally, we also propose UML 2.0 diagrams at several different levels for the representation of Gaia deliverables, such as organisational structure, role and interaction model, and agent and service model. Keywords: multi-agent systems; agent-oriented methodologies; goal-oriented requirements analysis; operations recovery; disruption management.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Castro, A. and Oliveira, E.

“…Among the domain-specific methodologies it is worth to mention GAIA2JADE [21,22], PASSI [23], CASSIOPEIA [24], MOMBAS [25]. Domain-specific methodologies are the narrower versions of general-purpose methodologies.…”

“…In order to finish the complete cycle of the development of multi-agent investment decision support system, JADE platform was chosen as technical implementation means, and at the same time the methodologies of the authors of GAIA2JADE [21,22] and JADE [19] platform for the development of agent systems were used. These methodologies differ from above discussed: (1) The methodology of JADE authors is more abstract than formalized; (2) The types and features of agents are identified from the abstract model of the system rather than from the exact hierarchic tree of the system; (3) Agent's role (actions) depends not on the goal provided for it to achieve by hierarchy, but on the agent's role and responsibilities provided by abstract model; (4) During designing phase technological capacities of JADE platform are fully taken into consideration.…”

Abstract:In these latter days software agents are used for the development and implementation of intellectual decision support systems. In order to implement intelligence in a system some or several dozen of software agents are used and the made system becomes multi-agent. For the development of these systems a set of methodologies, i.e., the sequence of consequent steps of analysis, designing and implementation, is offered. The carried out analysis of the methodologies showed that as a rule they are limited by the spectrum of their pending problem (within the pales of the requirements of specific applied task, within the pales of the possibilities of technical implementation) or within the pales of amount of detail. The variety of methodologies is influenced by the fact that for the development of these systems the requirements and attitudes are offered by the specialists of related spheres such as software, numeral intellect engineers. In the course of the development of hardware and software appeared possibilities to implement mobile multi-agents systems, however, there is no one united mobile multi-agent systems design methodology, whereas existing systems are underdeveloped and their number is small. In this article we introduce the course of the designing of an intellectual real time multi-agent investment management decision support information system adapting and combining some methodologies where the choice to use either communicating or mobile agents is the question of rather technical implementation than methodological. In the article we introduce two ways of system implementation by JADE platform: the first one-using communicating agents, and the second one-using mobile agents.

“…It can be configured and controlled using a remote graphical user interface. The development of the MAS follows the Gaia2JADE process which guides the stages in modelling and implementation of interactions and agents [40]. Our implementation also uses the JADE-S security extension [41] which supports agent authentication, authorization and network encryption.…”

This paper describes an approach to decentralised and automated demand response and home energy management that takes into consideration privacy and security of home users implemented using a multi-agent system. The novel approach allows the management of flexibility within the low-voltage part of the electricity distribution networks where decentralised decision making will result in better value for prosumers, efficiency and market competitiveness. The hierarchical agent architecture allows agents that represent different stakeholders to make decisions as a result of changes in energy consumption and generation using mechanisms such as optimisation and access control. The multi-agent system connects to home devices through a uniform software layer that abstracts the heterogeneity of home devices.
