Testing BDI-based Multi-Agent Systems using Discrete Event Simulation
Martina Baiardi, Samuele Burattini, Giovanni Ciatto +1
Multi-agent systems are designed to deal with open, distributed systems with unpredictable dynamics, which makes them inherently hard to test. The value of using simulation for thi…
A Multi-Simulation Bridge for IoT Digital Twins
Marco Picone, Samuele Burattini, Marco Melloni +6
The increasing capabilities of Digital Twins (DTs) in the context of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial IoT (IIoT) call for seamless integration with simulation platforms…
Agent-Oriented Visual Programming for the Web of Things
Samuele Burattini, Alessandro Ricci, Simon Mayer +4
In this paper we introduce and discuss an approach for multi-agent-oriented visual programming. This aims at enabling individuals without programming experience but with knowledge…
Concurrency Model of BDI Programming Frameworks: Why Should We Control It?
Martina Baiardi, Samuele Burattini, Giovanni Ciatto +3
We provide a taxonomy of concurrency models for BDI frameworks, elicited by analysing state-of-the-art technologies, and aimed at helping both BDI designers and developers in makin…
On the external concurrency of current BDI frameworks for MAS
Martina Baiardi, Samuele Burattini, Giovanni Ciatto +3
The execution of Belief-Desire-Intention (BDI) agents in a Multi-Agent System (MAS) can be practically implemented on top of low-level concurrency mechanisms that impact on efficie…
