Abstract

We define a tool-supported design framework that allows to specify an agent goal model and to automatically generate fragments of a BDI agent from it. We devise the design process as a transformation process from platform-independent design models to platform-specific models and then to code. The design framework is demonstrated by referring to the Tropos methodology and to the JADE/Jadex platform. In this short paper, key steps in the process are illustrated through an example.

Translation of statechart agents into a BDI framework for MAS engineering

In the agent-oriented computing area, different programming paradigms have been to date proposed to design and implement multi-agent systems (MAS). Among them, the Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) and Statecharts-based models have emerged as they ...
