With this book, Onn Shehory and Arnon Sturm, together with
further contributors, introduce the reader to various facets of
agent-oriented software engineering (AOSE). They provide a selected
collection of state-of-the-art findings, which combines research
from information systems, artificial intelligence, distributed
systems and software engineering and covers essential development
aspects of agent-based systems.
The book chapters are organized into five parts. The first part
introduces the AOSE domain in general, including introduction to
agents and the peculiarities of software engineering for developing
MAS. The second part describes general aspects of AOSE, like
architectural models, design patterns and communication. Next, part
three discusses AOSE methodologies and associated research
directions and elaborates on Prometheus, O-MaSE and INGENIAS. Part
four then addresses agent-oriented programming languages. Finally,
the fifth part presents studies related to the implementation of
agents and multi-agent systems.
The book not only provides a comprehensive review of design
approaches for specifying agent-based systems, but also covers
implementation aspects such as communication, standards and tools
and environments for developing agent-based systems. It is thus of
interest to researchers, practitioners and students who are
interested in exploring the agent paradigm for developing software
systems.
