Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) architectures are gaining popularity over traditional ones for building open, dis- tributed, and evolving software required by today's corporate IT applications such as eBusiness systems, web services or enterprise knowledge bases. Since the fundamental concepts of multi-agent systems are social and intentional rather than object, functional, or implementation-oriented, the design of MAS architectures can be eased by using social patterns. They are detailed agent-oriented design idioms to describe MAS architectures as composed of autonomous agents that interact and coordinate to achieve their intentions, like actors in hu- man organizations. This paper presents social patterns and focuses on a framework aimed to gain insight into these patterns. The framework can be integrated into agent-oriented software engineering methodologies used to build MAS. We consider the Broker social pattern as a combination of patterns and use it to illustrate the framework. The automatation of patterns design is also overviewed. |
