Abstract

Increasing complexity of interactions among agents presents a serious challenge in designing, building and maintaining of such systems. This paper analyses existing interaction description languages and methods, and proposes a novel language based on descriptions of interaction scenarios. Program code generated from scenario descriptions, in synergy with related platform components, simplifies design, implementation and maintenance phases of multi-agent systems characterized by complex and interwoven communication.
