summarizes the most important features for developing Multiagent Systems (MAS), and implements a simple questionnaire that allows analyzing methods and tools.
The completeness and relevance of the presented evaluation questionnaire are reflected via its attention to both system engineering dimensions and MAS features, and because it analyzes the MAS development process from the model stage to the implementation of the final code taking into account the most important features and tools involved in the process.
Furthermore, Masev analyzes the most important issues for develop specific kinds of MAS like Organizational MAS and MAS that integrate agents and services.
Masev objectives:
Analyzer: An easy and fast mechanism to analyze methods and tools and detecting lacks in the development process.
Compare and statistics: Standard mechanism to publish and compare different methods and tools.
Recommender: An easy mechanism to select the most appropriate MAS software engineering methods and tools for a particular system to develop. (Under development)
Masev contributions:
For developers of methods and tools to develop MAS:
- A mechanism to compare their systems with other similar.
- A mechanism to detect lacks in their solutions.
- A mechanism to publish their systems.
- A list of the most important issues for developing MAS.
For MAS developers:
- A mechanism to compare different approaches.
- A ranking of the most appropriate methods and tools to develop a specific application depending on its requirements.
For MAS community:
- A complete state of the art in methods and tools to develop MAS.
- A complete list of the most important issues for developing MAS.
- A study of the issues for developing:
- Organizational MAS.
- MAS that integrate agents and services.
