Developing a Knowledge Management Multi-Agent System Using JaCaMo

摘要

Recent research on social and organisational aspects of multi-agent systems has led to practical organisational models and the idea of organisation-oriented programming. These organisational models help agents to achieve shared (global) goals of the multi-agent system. Having an organisational model is an important advance, but this model needs to be integrated to an environment infrastructure and agent-oriented programming platforms. JaCaMo is the first fully operational programming platform that integrates three levels of multi-agent abstractions: an agent programming language, an organisational model, and an environment infrastructure. For better showcasing the advantages of a fully-fledged multi-agent platform, this paper presents a concrete agent-based architecture to proactively supply knowledge to knowledge-intensive workflows which has been designed using JaCaMo.
