Virtual reality can support edutainment applications which seek to provide an engaging experience with virtual objects and spaces. However, these environments often contain scripted avatars and activities that lack the ability to respond or adapt to the ...

As of today, the behavior of avatars in virtual worlds is usually realized by script sequences which provide the illusion of intelligent behavior to the user. In the research project ISReal, our research group developed the first platform for deploying ...

In this paper we propose a methodological approach to model driven design of multiagent systems (MAS). However, several methodologies for MAS have already been proposed and we do not want to present yet another new methodology. Our aim is rather to ...

We present the open 3D Internet research platform ISReal for semantic-enabled intelligent 3D simulations of realities in a XML3D web browser. For this purpose, the platform integrates semantic Web technologies, semantic services, intelligent agents, ...

Software engineers usually approach complex problems by separating them into sub-problems. In multiagent systems, sub-problems are solved by autonomous agents that build organizational structures. Each agent internally further decomposes a problem by ...

We present the first open and cross-disciplinary 3D Internet research platform, called ISReal, for intelligent 3D simulation of realities. Its core innovation is the comprehensively integrated application of semantic Web technologies, semantic services, ...

This article presents a use case for a modeling framework for multiagent systems (MAS) called <Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">Dsml4MAS</Emphasis> . The modeling framework uses a metamodel (<Emphasis Type="SmallCaps">Pim4Agents</Emphasis> ) to describe the ...

Modern information systems are considered as collection of independent units that interact with each other through the exchange of messages. Especially in the context of multiagent systems, the interaction between agents is of particular importance. ...

This paper presents the Dsml4mas Development Environment (DDE) which is a model-driven framework for the development of multiagent systems based on the Domain Specific Modeling Language for Multiagent Systems (Dsml4-mas).

Agent-oriented software engineering (AOSE) aims on reducing the complexity of multiagent system (MAS) development. Jade is a famous framework for implementing MAS in Java. This paper proposes the model-driven development environment of the Domain ...

In this paper, we demonstrate how to design protocols with the platform independent modeling language for multiagent systems (Dsml4mas) and discuss a model-driven approach to use protocol descriptions as a base for generating the corresponding agent ...

This paper discusses an innovative mean on model-driven agent-based coordination of Semantic Web services. The general idea is to define a platform independent metamodel for Semantic Web services and integrate it into a platform independent metamodel ...
