Title

ROADMAP: extending the Gaia methodology for complex open systems

Author(s)

Juan, Thomas;  Pearce, Adrian;  Sterling, Leon

Abstract

This paper is concerned with improving the software engineering of agent-based open systems. It critiques the existing Gaia methodology in the light of a motivating example of intelligent home networks. It describes the ROADMAP1 methodology, which extends Gaia with four improvements - formal models of knowledge and the environment, role hierarchies, explicit representation of social structures and relationships, and incorporation of dynamic changes.
