Abstract

The adoption of multiagent systems by companies and users requires that it is possible to verify the properties of the multiagent systems. The main candidate of this verification is model checking but as sketched in the paper, it presents drawbacks such as combinatorial explosion or it does not take the environment into account. Model checking seems to be restricted to small systems with few agents. In this paper, we present a different approach used in testing called the Record/Replay mechanism. We add as well a post-mortem analysis. This paper describes the advantages of this approach and how we have implemented it in the MadKit platform

Organizing Multiagent Systems

Despite all the research done in the last years on the development of methodologies for designing MAS, there is no methodology suitable for the specification and design of MAS in complex domains where both the agent view and the organizational view can ...
Congregation Formation in Multiagent Systems

We present congregating both as a metaphor for describing and modeling multiagent systems (MAS) and as a means for reducing coordination costs in large-scale MAS. When agents must search for other agents to interact with, congregations provide a way for ...
Multiagent Reinforcement Social Learning toward Coordination in Cooperative Multiagent Systems

Most previous works on coordination in cooperative multiagent systems study the problem of how two (or more) players can coordinate on Pareto-optimal Nash equilibrium(s) through fixed and repeated interactions in the context of cooperative games. ...
