DESIRE: Modelling Multi-Agent Systems in a Compositional Formal Framework
TL;DR: This paper discusses an example of the application of a high-level modelling framework which supports both the specification and implementation of a system's conceptual design, and an operational multi-agent system which manages an electricity transportation network for a Spanish electricity utility.
Proceedings Article
Formal Specification of Multi-Agent Systems: a Real World Case
TL;DR: The framework DESIRE, originally designed for formal specification of complex reasoning systems is used to specify a real-world multi- agent application on a conceptual level to obtain a useful formal specification framework for multi-agent systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social cohesion revisited: a new definition and how to characterize it
TL;DR: In this paper, a general overview on different perspectives and studies on social cohesion, offers a definition of social cohesion that is deeply rooted in current literature, and provides a framework that can be used to characterize social cohesion and help support resilient cities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Principles of component-based design of intelligent agents
TL;DR: An overview is given of reusable generic models (design patterns) for different types of agents, problem solving methods and tasks, and reasoning patterns of compositional development method DESIRE.
