A Modeling Tool for Service-Oriented Open Multiagent Systems

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 5925))

Abstract

Service-oriented Open technology is becoming more and more the enabler tool for today open enterprise ISs. In this field, it seems interesting to work with the Multi-Agent System research focusing on open distributed, complex and dynamic systems, in which information and resources are distributed among several agents, which interact by means of services. In this paper, an engineering tool for Service-oriented Open Multi-Agent Systems is presented. This tool is based on a platform independent unified meta-model. In this way, a Model Driven Architecture mechanism is applied, thus defining a Service-Oriented Multi-agent System meta-model based on Virtual Organizations and employing the Eclipse technology to develop the IDE tool.
