Experience paper: Implementing a Multi-Agent Architecture for Cooperative Software Engineering

摘要

The paper describes experiences we have earned from implementing a multi-agent architecture used to support cooperative software engineering. Before staning to implement a multi-agent architecture, important decisions and considerations must be taken into account. Decisions on how to provide efficient inter-agent communication support, what language should the agents talk, should the agents be stationary or mobile, and what technology should be used to build the architecture must be made. This paper describes how we implemented our multi-agent system, and the experiences we gained from building it.
