Title
Social Patterns for Designing Multiagent Systems
Abstract
Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) architectures now appear to be more appropriate than traditional ones for building latest generation software that is typically concurrent, dis- tributed, and dynamic. Since the fundamental concepts of multi-agent systems are social and intentional, rather than object, functional or implementation-oriented, the design of MAS architectures should be eased by using what we call social patterns rather than object-oriented design patterns. Social patterns are idioms inspired by social and intentional characteristics used to design the details of a system archi- tecture. The paper presents a framework calledSKWYRL used to gain insight into social patterns and help to conduct the design of a MAS architecture in terms of these newly proposed idioms. We define the Booking social pattern, to illustrate the modeling dimensions of SKWYRL. A frame- work for code generation is also presented.
