PSMAR: um processo para desenvolvimento de sistemas multiagentes com agentes racionais

Abstract

This work proposes the creation of a process to support the development of software for multi-agent systems with rational agents, integrating existing techniques for the development of multi-agent systems with agents at the level of requirements, design and implementation. For this, the study of software process models was carried out, where each process model represents a process from a certain perspective, and in this way, enable the creation of the proposed model based on the variations of these processes and then establish its main stages that define the core development activities. As a result, PSMAR was developed: A Process for the Development of Multi-agent Systems with Rational Agents, composed of 8 phases. The present proposed work was validated based on an approach with researchers and developers who work with the development of multi-agent systems, where the objective of the evaluation was to identify the points of view about PSMAR and with that, to contribute as a reference process for guide other processes for development.
