Mobile Agents Behaviours: From Declarative Specificiations to Implemenation

摘要

We propose a method to derive Mobile Agents Behaviours from simple and easy to use decharative specifications. We use for that a manufacturing system route metaphor as a mean to express the mission of a mobile agent. The specification is expressed with a datamodel and is automatically transformed into a two-component behaviour a Task Net expressed with Petri Nets(PN) and an Intelligent PN Interpreter guaranteeing agent autonomy and flexibility.
