Abstract

We propose a method to derive Mobile Agents Behaviours from simple and easy to use declarative specifications. We use for that a manufacturing system route metaphor as a mean to express the mission of a mobile agent. The specification is expressed with a datamodel and is automatically transformed into a two-component behaviour: a Task Net expressed with Petri Nets(PN) and an Intelligent PN Interpreter guaranteeing agent autonomy and flexibility.
