A Comparison of Agent-Oriented Software Engineering Frameworks and Methodologies
Agent-oriented software engineering (AOSE) covers issues on developing systems with software agents. There are many techniques, mostly agent-oriented and object-oriented, ready to be chosen as building blocks to create agent-based systems. There have been several AOSE methodologies proposed …

A requirements elicitation framework for agent-oriented software engineering.
… for the early part of gathering requirements for agent-based systems." This thesis examines the difficulties of gathering and expressing requirements for agent based systems, and describes the development of a requirements elicitation framework. Conceptual modelling in the form of Conceptual …

A High Performance C++ Generic Benchmark for Computational Epidemiology
… the model and the computation form a complex agent based system and are highly compute and resource intensive. In this work, we design a benchmark consisting of several kernels which capture the essential compute, communication, and data access patterns for such applications. For each kernel, …

Protecting agents against malicious host attacks
The introduction of agent technology raises several security issues that are beyond conventional security mechanisms capability and considerations, but research in protecting the agent from malicious host attack is evolving. This research proposes two approaches to protecting an agent from being …

Software Agents for Dlnet Content Review: Study and Experimentation
… an effort to test our hypothesis that a software agent based architecture will provide a better response time and will be more maintainable and reusable than the present J2EE based architecture of DLNET (Digital Library Network for Engineering and Technology). We have taken a portion of the …

Development of Sustainable Traffic Control Principles for Self-Driving Vehicles: A Paradigm Shift Within the Framework of Social Justice
… to protect the inviolability of each user in a system. Consequently, the control objective is the distribution of delay per individual, considering for example that the effect of delay is not the same if a person is traveling to a grocery store as opposed to traveling to a hospital. The notion …

HIERARCHICAL-GRANULARITY HOLONIC MODELLING
This thesis aims to introduce an agent-based system engineering approach, named Hierarchical-Granularity Holonic Modelling, to support intelligent information processing at multiple granularity levels. The focus is especially on complex hierarchical systems. Nowadays, due to ever growing complexity …
