MULTI-AGENT SYSTEM DESIGN USING ROLE MODELS

摘要

A computer-assisted method of designing a multi agent system (23) comprises storing predefined role models (21, 22) within a library (20), selecting desired models from the library, and merging them into a single system model (23). Each model (21, 22) has associated with it one or more compositional constraints (25, 26), and these are automatically taken into consideration during role composition by a synthesis engine (24) during the merging process.
