Abstract

Multi-agent systems consist of a number of interacting autonomous agents, each of which is capable of sensing its environment (including other agents) and deciding to act in order to achieve its own objectives. In order to guarantee the overall design objectives of multi-agent systems, the behavior of individual agents and their interactions need to be regulated and coordinated [23,29,30]. The development of multi-agent systems therefore requires programming languages that facilitate the implementation of individual agents as well as mechanisms that control and regulate individual agents' behaviors. It also requires computational tools to test and verify programs that implement multi-agent systems [7].
