Abstract

MagentaToolkit is a set of multi-agent tools based on the adaptive problem solving method, which is capable of solving complex problems characterized by a large number of variables of high variety and dynamics caused by the occurrence of unpredictable events.The Toolkit comprises a Multi-Agent Engine, Virtual Market and Ontology Editor. The Toolkit speeds up substantially the application development process and can be used by programmers without expertise in multi-agent technology. The paper contains the description of MagentaToolkit, outlines principles of application design and operation and presents examples of adaptive applications developed for clients.
